What form of notice arises from the recording of a deed?

The correct answer is constructive notice. Constructive notice is a legal concept that refers to the idea that individuals are presumed to have knowledge of information that has been publicly recorded or made available, even if they have not actually seen it. When a deed is recorded in the appropriate public office, it serves as a formal way of notifying the public about the transfer of the property title.

The recording of a deed creates a public record, and it is assumed that anyone interested in the property has the responsibility to check these records. Therefore, once a deed is recorded, all parties are considered to have constructive notice of the contents of that deed, which means they cannot claim ignorance of factors like ownership or liens attached to the property based on that recorded information.

In contrast, express notice would require actual knowledge of a fact, while inferred and indirect notice are not commonly recognized legal terms in the same context as constructive notice. Inferred notice may suggest a conclusion drawn from indirect evidence, and indirect notice lacks the formal acknowledgment that recordings provide. Thus, constructive notice is the most accurate description of the situation regarding the recording of a deed.
