An abstract of title is a condensed history of all recorded documents and proceedings that affect the title to a specific parcel of real property. It is a summary, not a guarantee, of title condition.

Actual notice means a person has direct, personal knowledge of a fact or interest in real property. This can come from being told, seeing something firsthand, or any form of direct awareness.
