Explanation
Constructive notice means you are deemed to know what is in the public record, regardless of whether you actually searched those records. In Nevada, recorded deeds, liens, mortgages, easements, and CC&Rs provide constructive notice to the world. This is why a buyer who records their deed is protected against subsequent claims — everyone is on constructive notice of the recorded transfer.
