Explanation
Minnesota follows a race-notice recording statute. A subsequent purchaser is protected if they record first AND they had no actual or constructive notice of a prior unrecorded interest at the time of their purchase. Both conditions must be met—the purchaser must win the race to record AND be a bona fide purchaser without notice.
