Answer:

The woman has actual notice of the lien but not constructive notice, because of the mistake in recording.

Explanation:

The woman has actual notice of the lien but not constructive notice, because of the mistake in recording. It has to be noticed that the woman was a partner and she knew that the lien was filed. Constructive notice is not given because the lien was not filed in the county where the property is located, which is where it would be expected to be filed.
