Legal Definition and Related Resources of Tacking

Meaning of Tacking

The doctrine of tacking in mortgages originated in the English Courts of chancery and was stated thus in Morrit v Paske, 26 E.R. 429: where there is a prior mortgagee who has a puisne encumbrance , a second mortgagee shall not redeem the prior without redeeming the puisne at the same time, and the reason is, because the legal estate is in the first mortgagee and the court will not take away that benefit from him, provided he had no notice of the second when he bought in or took the puisne one. One of the essential elements of this doctrine is the lack of notice on the part of the prior mortgagee of the intervening mortgage . However, by reason of the registry laws of the United States , this doctrine is no longer in application. In the context of adverse possession the doctrine permits one claiming title by adverse possession to add his period of possession to that of a prior adverse possessor or possessors in order to establish continuous possession for the statutory period. See Cheatham v Vanderwey, 499 P.2d 986, 18 Ariz.App. 35. To invoke this doctrine, there must be privity , between adverse possessors. In interstate transportation of freight , tacking occurs when the same carrier combines two of its own certificates of authority so as to make a continuous shipment over routes granted by each certificate . See I. C. C. v Crouch Freight Systems Inc., (C.A.Okl.) 577 F.2d 679.
