CAPLES v. TALIAFERRO PRECEDENT

BINDING PRECEDENT

WEST PENINSULAR TITLE CO.

Caples v. Taliaferro, 144 Fla. 1, 197 So. 861 (1940):

Appellees contend that this question should be answered in the affirmative because, (1) the mortgage deed makes no express reservation of the strip of land designated as "Palm Walk," (2) that when a street or highway is platted on the margin of the grantor's land, a conveyance of the lands bordering the street carries the fee to the entire width of the street unless expressly reserved and (3) the conveyance of land abutting on a street, way, or highway carries the fee to the center of the street unless expressly reserved."
