49. Is the deed effective?
The owner of Blackacre is an elderly, unmarried man with no children and no surviving relatives. Blackacre is a large property bordered by forests on the east side, a small stream on the west side, a large hill to the south, and a meadow to the north. There are neighbors to the east, west, and south. The owner is terminally ill and would like to leave Blackacre to the neighbor over the hill before he dies. The owner executed a deed conveying Blackacre «to my neighbor.» The owner signed the deed, but the neighbor did not.

A is incorrect. A grantee does not have to sign a deed for it to be effective. Only a grantor is required to sign a deed. The deed is ineffective because the grantee is not properly identified.
C is incorrect. The grantor's signature only is not sufficient for the deed to be effective. The deed must still include all the other requirements: the identity of the grantor and grantee, words of transfer, a description of the property interest being transferred, and the grantor's signature.
D is incorrect. The deed is ineffective because there is no way of determining from the deed which neighbor is the intended grantee.
