Under notice-race statutes, a subsequent purchaser can prevail if he or she takes without actual knowledge of a prior unrecorded conveyance and records the deed first. This means that if the subsequent purchaser records the deed before the prior conveyance is recorded, and he or she had no knowledge of the prior conveyance at the time of purchase, then this subsequent purchaser can prevail over the prior purchaser.
