Description
Before POSNER, COFFEY, and EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judges. EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge People saddled with mortgages may treasure the idea of having clear title to their homes. The usual way to obtain clean title is to pay one's debts. Some have decided that it is cheaper to write a ""land patent"" purporting to convey unassailable title, and to file that ""patent"" in the recording system. For example, Samuel Misenko, one of the appellants, drafted a ""declaration of land patent"" purporting to clear the title to an acre of land of all encumbrances. He recorded that ""patent"" with the appropriate officials of Manitowoc, Wisconsin. He attached to his ""patent"" a genuine patent, to a quarter section of land, signed by President Fillmore in 1861.
