wild deed

Also called a thin air deed,one which appears in the real estate records with a grantor who has never before had recorded title,usually to a grantee who is never heard of again.Unless the state has a statute voiding any claims under such a wild deed after a certain period of time,the effect is to so thoroughly cloud the title that a suit to quiet title will be necessary to bar any future claimants under the wild deed.

(77.) Even if the deed to O mentioned one or both of the public roads, the intersection of which is the starting point for the first metes-and-bounds calls in the deed to A (restated in the A-to-B recorded wild deed), the title examiner for a potential purchaser from O has no reason to believe a search of these road names should be made-that such a search might turn up a wild deed that impairs the title.
