Definition: Constructive notice is notice the law attributes to a person even without proof that the person actually knew the information. Properly recorded real estate documents are a common example.
Example
A deed is properly recorded in the relevant public records, providing notice under the applicable recording rules.
Keep the distinction clear
Recording is different from personally telling someone about a fact. Whether a particular record gives legally effective notice depends on the applicable requirements.
