at 830 (citing Minn. Stat. § 508.54 (2004)). The court concluded that because M & I failed to file its mortgage on Conley’s property with the Ramsey County Registrar of Titles, M & I did not have an interest in the property that affected subsequent purchasers such as Collier, and instead had only a private contract with Conley. Id. at 831. The court further concluded that “[ajctual notice of a private contract is not the type of notice that prevents a purchaser from being a good-faith purchaser.” Id. The court reasoned that Collier’s actual notice of M & I’s private contract with Conley was not inconsistent with his own purchase of Conley’s interest in the property, because under the Torrens Act, the land was unencumbered by M & I’s interest. Id.

Fingerhut Corp. v. Suburban National Bank · 1990 1 citation

Minn. Stat. § 508.54 (1988) (emphasis added). Therefore, before its registration, Suburban’s mortgage was effective only as a contract between it and the Connellys; the mortgage could not affect the land. Id.; Minn. Stat. § 508.47, subd. 1.
