Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Document Recording
I have two deeds, adjoining properties, conveyed by same Grantor to different Grantees, recorded same date in 1965, same time (shown to the minute), same Book, consecutive pages. These deeds are the creating documents. Are they treated as simultaneous conveyances or sequencial?

Re: Document Recording
In some counties, if the two adjoining parcels are each smaller than the currently accepted minimum lot size, if title is the same in each property, the county may merge the properties into one parcel, limiting how many homes can be built from two to one. Check that out and if it is the situation, convey one of the lots so that the title is somewhat different.

Is there some reason it makes a difference? The document with the lower number should be considered recorded first.
