GLOSSARY TERM GUIDEBuild the complete exam definition
Learn the rule, separate it from the nearest distractor, then apply it to a Georgia fact pattern.
What does Actual notice mean?
Actual notice is direct, personal knowledge of a fact, claim, right, or condition, whether learned through documents, conversation, observation, or another source.
How do you separate the nearest exam answer?
Actual notice is real awareness. Constructive notice is knowledge imposed by law from recording or circumstances that require inquiry.
What changes or stays the same in Georgia?
Georgia priority questions can turn on whether a purchaser paid value without actual or constructive notice before another interest was recorded.
Before signing, a buyer reads an unrecorded lease and speaks with the tenant about the remaining term. The buyer has actual notice.
An unrecorded interest can still bind a person who actually knew about it.

Answer before reading the explanation. Then explain why every distractor belongs to a different term.
Before closing on a duplex, a buyer reads a tenant's two-year lease that was never recorded and talks with the tenant about the remaining term. After closing, the buyer orders the tenant out because the lease was not recorded. What is the result?
- A
The tenant must leave, since unrecorded leases are void
- B
The tenant must leave, since there was no constructive notice
- C
The lease binds the buyer, who had actual notice of it
- D
The lease binds the buyer only if it is recorded later
Actual notice is real, personal knowledge, and this buyer read the lease and spoke with the tenant. An unrecorded interest can still bind a person who actually knew about it. Recording matters for constructive notice, but it is not the only way a buyer learns of a right.
