The English rule

The words
RPL 333 bars recording of a conveyance that is not written in English.
The actual law, so it can’t scare you later.
-
Actually means
A deed has to be in English to be recorded.
Plain English. No legalese survives this step.
-
Live example
A deed drafted only in another language cannot be recorded until it is in English.
A scene you can picture.
-
Killer question
Straight recall: conveyances must be in English to be recorded. Do not confuse this with the foreign-language advertising rule.
Exactly how the exam asks it.
