A pure race statute would prioritize the first person to record their interest, regardless of notice or good faith. Nevada requires both recording and lack of notice, making pure race incorrect.
Pure notice statute
A pure notice statute would prioritize a subsequent purchaser who lacks notice of prior claims, even if they don't record first. Nevada requires both recording and lack of notice.
