Escrow & Title

In Colorado, 'constructive notice' of a recorded document means:

AA. Only the parties to the transaction have knowledge of the document
BB. The law presumes everyone has knowledge of the document because it is publicly recorded, whether or not they actually searched the records✓ Correct
CC. Notice must be given personally to all interested parties
DD. Only lenders are presumed to have knowledge

Explanation

Constructive notice is the legal presumption that all persons have knowledge of publicly recorded documents, even if they have not personally reviewed the records. This is why recording a deed or lien is critical — once recorded, it provides constructive notice to all subsequent purchasers and encumbrancers.
