Notice (Actual, Constructive, Inquiry)
"Notice" in title priority contexts can be actual (subjective knowledge), constructive (knowledge imputed by proper recording/indexing), or inquiry (knowledge imputed when visible facts would prompt a reasonable person to investigate). NY recording statutes and CPLR notice-of-pendency rules expressly rely on constructive notice created by specified filings and indexing.
