Lot 214 is registered in the name of Owner G under Torrens title. Neighbor H has openly possessed Lot 214 for 15 years and asserts ownership by color of title. H conveys Lot 214 to I by a private deed of sale (not a public instrument) and not notarized; I pays value and purchases in good faith. I applies for registration of the deed; the Register of Deeds registers the instrument as an involuntary dealing under PD 1529, as amended. Owner G objects. (a) Identify the controlling doctrine governing involuntary dealings in subsequent registration. (b) Apply the doctrine to these facts: is I protected against G’s claim, and what is the effect of the registration on G’s title? (c) If I is not protected, what remedies does G have? Briefly explain.

The controlling doctrine is the priority in time principle; the earliest transaction prevails, so G’s title prevails since it predates I’s deed and its involuntary registration can be ignored. The controlling doctrine is the notice theory; actual knowledge of the transaction by third parties decides protections, so I’s registration as involuntary dealing gives I priority over G. The controlling doctrine is the public instrument requirement; without a public instrument, no transfer can ever occur, so I has no protection and G’s title remains indefeasible. The controlling doctrine is the involuntary dealings framework under PD 1529; a purchaser for value from a possessor of land may be protected in good faith, but a private instrument not in public form complicates transfer, and registration as involuntary dealing may bind the land to the instrument while leaving the true owner's title subject to later action.
