A quitclaim deed is not valid against lien creditors or purchasers for a valuable consideration until it is registered with the Register of Deeds in the appropriate county in North Carolina. The priority of recorded documents is based on the order of registration, unless it is stated otherwise on the registered quitclaim deed or on a separate registered instrument that is duly executed by the party whose priority interest is adversely affected. If instruments are registered simultaneously, the earliest document number or the sequential book and page number listed on the document will establish priority. (47-18).
