CODE OF VIRGINIA

CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY NOT OWNED BUT SUBSEQUENTLY ACQUIRED (§ 55-52)

When a deed purports to convey property, real or personal, describing it with
reasonable certainty, which the grantor does not own at the time of the
execution of the deed, but subsequently acquires, such deed shall, as between
the parties thereto, have the same effect as if the title which the grantor
subsequently acquires were vested in him at the time of the execution of such
deed and thereby conveyed.
