Questions answered? Let's get started!
An Alabama Memorandum and Notice of Agreement is used to place a limited public record of a real estate contract in the county probate records without recording the full agreement. In Alabama, this matters because once a memorandum is recorded, it becomes part of the grantor-grantee index and can affect title until it is released. The Alabama version must meet probate recording standards, include required recitals, and properly reference the property and parties, or it may be rejected or fail to provide the intended notice.
What the Alabama Memorandum and Notice of Agreement does
An Alabama Memorandum and Notice of Agreement provides public notice that a buyer or other party has an equitable interest in a property based on an underlying agreement, such as a purchase contract, option, or land contract. It is commonly used during the period between contract execution and closing, allowing the essential facts—such as the parties and property—to be recorded while keeping detailed terms private. Once recorded, it signals to third parties that the property is subject to an existing agreement.
Alabama statutory framework and recording status
In Alabama, instruments affecting real property may be recorded in the office of the Judge of Probate in the county where the property is located (Ala. Code § 35-4-62). Recording provides constructive notice of the instrument’s contents (Ala. Code § 35-4-63), and Alabama’s recording statute protects later purchasers and lenders without notice (Ala. Code § 35-4-90). Because a memorandum places the world on notice of an agreement, it can impact title searches and priority, even though it does not itself transfer ownership.
Execution requirements for an Alabama memorandum
To be recorded, the Alabama Memorandum and Notice of Agreement must be properly executed. The party placing the notice—often the buyer—should sign the instrument. Alabama requires that execution be attested by at least one witness when the signer writes his or her name, unless the document is properly acknowledged before a notary (Ala. Code § 35-4-20). A valid acknowledgment satisfies the execution requirement for recording (Ala. Code § 35-4-23).
Names of the parties should match the underlying agreement and be consistent with how parties are identified in the public record. If multiple buyers or entities are involved, each interest being placed on record should be reflected in the execution of the memorandum.
Alabama-specific traps that cause recording or title problems
- Marital-status recital: Alabama requires a statement of the grantor’s or conveying party’s marital status before recording (Ala. Code § 35-4-73). Even for a memorandum, this recital is often required by probate offices.
- Preparer identification: The instrument must include the name and address of the preparer (Ala. Code § 35-4-110). Missing this information is a frequent reason for rejection.
- Legal description accuracy: The property description must be sufficient for indexing and identification. If the description references a subdivision or plat, the recorded plat information should be included (Ala. Code § 35-4-74).
- County-specific recording location: The memorandum must be recorded in the county where the property is located. Recording in the wrong county does not provide effective notice for the subject property.
- Partial or vague references to the agreement: The memorandum should clearly identify the existence of the agreement without ambiguity. Overly vague memoranda can create confusion in title searches.
- Exact name matching: Party names should match the underlying agreement and any related recorded documents to avoid indexing inconsistencies in Alabama’s grantor-grantee system.
- Execution defects: Missing acknowledgment or witness compliance can prevent the probate office from accepting the document for recording.
Recording process in Alabama
The Alabama Memorandum and Notice of Agreement is recorded with the Judge of Probate in the county where the property is located. Recording promptly after execution helps ensure that the buyer’s interest is reflected in the public record before other claims or conveyances are recorded. Once indexed, the memorandum becomes part of the title chain and is typically reviewed by title companies and attorneys during subsequent transactions.
Recording fees apply, and Alabama probate offices may assess recordation taxes depending on the nature of the instrument presented under Title 40, Chapter 22. The probate office determines applicable fees and any required tax stamps at the time of filing (Ala. Code §§ 40-22-1, 40-22-2).
Vesting considerations in Alabama
Although a memorandum does not transfer title, it reflects an interest tied to the parties named in the underlying agreement. Alabama requires clear identification of parties in recorded instruments, and survivorship rights are not implied unless expressly stated in the creating instrument (Ala. Code § 35-4-7). Aligning the memorandum with the ownership and party structure in the agreement helps ensure the recorded notice accurately reflects the intended interest.

I bought a Quitclaim Deed package for Fayette County, Kentucky, to transfer my house into a Living Trust that I had set up previously. Creating my Quitclaim Deed was pretty straightforward, using the form, the instructions, and the sample Quitclaim Deed. I signed my Quitclaim Deed at a nearby Notary Public, then took it to the Fayette County Clerk's office to be recorded. The clerk there asked me to make two small changes to the Quitclaim Deed, which she let me do in pen on the spot: * In the signature block for the receiver of the property, filled in "Capacity" as "Grantee as Trustee ______________________________ Living Trust". * In the notary's section, changed "were acknowledged before me" to "were acknowledged and sworn to before me".
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I believe you need more instruction on the use of the web site. I would type and nothing would appear on the form. When I tried to save a completed form I ended with a blank form with no detail.
Thank you!

AMAZING! Easy to use, reasonable fee - and get MUCH MORE than just a deed form. I ordered a "deed" and received a whole "package," including a guide and the jurisdiction's costs schedule and cover page that would be needed to record the deed - even included a Certificate of Transfer that is not required for a deed but something I needed for a different transaction. The website was extremely easy to use and the cautions about not disclosing personal information were so clear and personal, they made me feel secure in knowing this site was not trying to rip me off. Very professional. Well done.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
