    Finding that purchaser with notice of unrecorded written lease had duty to investigate the terms of the lease and was charged with knowledge of such terms

    A purchaser of real estate takes it subject to the rights of anyone in actual possession. Karsznia v. Kelsey, 262 S.W.2d 844, 846 (Mo. 1953); Willett v. Centerre Bank of Branson, 792 S.W.2d 916, 919 (Mo.App.S.D. 1990); Hayward v. Arnold, 779 S.W.2d 342, 345 (Mo.App.W.D. 1989). A purchaser is charged with such knowledge as he could have obtained from the party in possession upon reasonable inquiry. Hallauer v. Lackey, 353 Mo. 1244, 188 S.W.2d 30, 34 (1945); Woodbury v.

  2. National Union Fire Ins. v. Structural Systems

    964 F.2d 759 (8th Cir. 1992)   Cited 18 times
    Holding that a supplier of "specially designed steel rods" was a subcontractor and holding that the exception to the "your work" exclusion applied

    The tower was 2000 feet tall, annexed to land subject to a renewable, fifty-year lease, and taxed as leased real property. We are satisfied that the tower constitutes real property. Cf. Willett v. Centerre Bank, 792 S.W.2d 916, 919 (Mo.Ct.App. 1990) (items such as mirrors and shelving constitute trade fixtures). International and National both contend that the district court erred in concluding that the "your work," "your product" and "custody, care and control" exclusions contained in their policies did not preclude coverage.

    865 S.W.2d 779 (Mo. Ct. App. 1993)   Cited 23 times
    Discussing piercing the corporate veil exception

Centerre Bank of Branson, 792 S.W.2d 916, 919 (Mo.App. 1990). Home Ins. identifies trade fixtures that should not have been a part of the damages as interior finishes (without further detail), fire protection systems, heating, ventilating and air conditioning system, and the electrical and lighting systems.
