Which type of notice is affected by the recording of documents?

The correct answer is constructive notice. Constructive notice refers to the legal presumption that information or knowledge of a property is available to all parties once documents are recorded in the public records. When documents, such as deeds and mortgages, are filed with the appropriate recording office, they become accessible to the public. This means that anyone who has an interest in the property is presumed to be aware of those documents and their contents, even if they haven't directly viewed them.

In real estate law, constructive notice serves to protect parties involved in the transaction by ensuring that important information about the property's status and ownership is publicly available. This principle plays a crucial role in establishing priorities among competing claims to the same property, as recording a document typically provides a timestamp for the interest being asserted.

While actual notice involves direct awareness of a fact or information, constructive notice operates on the premise that recording documents creates a duty for others to be aware of what has been recorded. The concepts of implied and adverse notice do not directly relate to the formalities of recording documents in the same way, making constructive notice the most relevant choice in this context.
