Property owner A sells a portion of the property to B. B promptly records the deed from A in the appropriate county office. If A tries to sell the same property to C, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) Because C purchased the property from its rightful owner, C is presumed by law to be aware of B's prior interest.
B) C has been given constructive notice of the prior sale because B promptly recorded the deed.
C) C has been given actual notice of the prior sale because B promptly recorded the deed.
D) Because C's purchase of the property is the more recent, it will have priority over B's interest, regardless of when B recorded the deed.
Answer (2)
The true statement is that C has been given constructive notice of B's prior interest due to the recording of the deed. This means that B's legal claim to the property takes precedence over C's potential claim. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

The true statement regarding the situation is that C has been given constructive notice of B's prior interest due to the recording of the deed. This means B has legal rights to the property despite A's subsequent attempt to sell to C. The recording of a deed creates a presumption of knowledge of prior claims against the property. ;
