race to the courthouse

In a pure race state, the first party to file a deed, mortgage, or other instrument will take priority—will be given effect—before instruments filed afterward.As a result, a situation sometimes arises when there is a possibility of competing claims, such as a spouse or creditor who wants to file a claim against property before it is sold to another. In such situations, there is a race to the courthouse to file first—before anyone else.
