“is a fiction of law resorted to whenever justice requires.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“There is an obvious and substantial difference between a deed which conveys the grantor’s entire interest and one which conveys only a portion of the grantor’s interest. Consistent with the after-acquired-title philosophy of §§ 34-2-104 and 34-2-105, supra, when a grantor who does not possess legal title quitclaims his entire interest in a piece of real property, the grantee cannot then expect that such a grant carries with it the implication that grantor has retained an equitable interest capable of ripening into legal title from which the grantee will then be permitted to claim. But when a desert-land entry-woman quitclaims a portion of the mineral estate, while retaining an equitable interest in the surface estate, it is then logical for the grantee to expect that the grantor will later perfect legal title and thus perfect the grantee’s mineral interest. We said as much in a 1918 opinion which involved a similar issue. Roberts v. Hudson [•]”
