Narrative Opinion Summary
An after-acquired property clause in a mortgage can effectively include adjoining property not explicitly described in the mortgage, provided that the creditor has actual notice of this clause. In this case, the appellant, a judgment creditor involved in the foreclosure proceedings, had such actual notice. Consequently, the trial court's confirmation of title in favor of the appellee is upheld. Judges Smith and Joanos concur with this decision.
