Ulysses bought Whiteacre from Gordon but never recorded the deed. Gordon stayed on the property as a tenant for three (3) years. Near the end of the three (3) years, Gordon learned that Ulysses had never recorded the deed. Gordon advertised Whiteacre for sale and Cheryl negotiated with Gordon thinking that Gordon was the owner. Finally, Cheryl checked the records at the recording office and, finding no reason to question Gordon's ownership of the property, purchased Whiteacre from Gordon. Cheryl recorded the deed and Gordon fled with the purchase money. Meanwhile, Ulysses had failed to pay the real estate taxes on Whiteacre for the three (3) years in question thinking it was the responsibility of Gordon, the tenant. Ultimately, Cheryl and Ulysses disputed over the ownership of the property. Decide the case between Cheryl and Ulysses. Also decide whether Ulysses is responsible for the three (3) years of real estate taxes assessed while Gordon occupied the property as a tenant.
