<p class="MsoNormal">'Mates, your input is appreciated following my ineffective legal research (which was then curtailed by error messages on CaseMaker). <u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Facts</b>: Owner contracts with GC to build house; Owner pays GC in full without sufficient lien release assurances; Owner sells house, title is conveyed to Buyer by recorded warranty deed; Subcontractor thereafter records an otherwise
valid mechanic's lien.<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I assumed the lien was invalid on its face since it is subsequent to conveyance. How can Subcontractor foreclose Buyer's superior-in-time interest? I know a mechanics lien can defeat an existing but unrecorded DOT. But superior to a prior
recorded conveyance? <u></u><u></u></p>
