Questions answered? Let's get started!
In Idaho, a Contract for Deed is typically used in real estate transactions where the buyer cannot obtain traditional financing, or the seller and buyer prefer an alternative arrangement for transferring property ownership. The contract allows the buyer to take possession of the property while making payments to the seller over time, but the seller retains the legal title until the purchase price is fully paid.
This Form includes Financing options, traditional installment payments or with a balloon payment if applicable.
LATE CHARGE additional charge when a payment is delinquent.
NON-SUFFICIENT FUNDS: Fees for bad checks.
IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER REMEDIES available to the Lender if this Note is not paid in full at the Maturity Date, Borrowers shall pay to Lender an Overdue Loan Fee
RIGHT TO PREPAY. Buyer has the right to prepay
Use this form for residential, a condominium, rental property, vacant land, a Planned Unit Development and small commercial property
Key Considerations:
Statute of Frauds Compliance: Under Idaho law, certain agreements must be in writing to be enforceable. Specifically, contracts for the sale of real property or interests therein are required to be in writing. This is outlined in Idaho Code §9-505, which states that agreements for the sale of real property must be in writing and signed by the party to be charged.
IDAHO LEGISLATURE: Property Condition Disclosure: Idaho's Property Condition Disclosure Act mandates that sellers of residential property provide a disclosure form to buyers. This form details the property's condition and must be completed and delivered to the buyer within ten days of accepting the buyer's offer. This requirement applies to various transfer methods, including installment sale contracts.
A contract with stringent default terms can be beneficial to the seller in the case of default. For use in Idaho only.
Important: Your property must be located in Clearwater County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.
This Contract for Deed meets all recording requirements specific to Clearwater County.

Example deed given did not apply to married couples as joint owners with both being grantors. The example and directions also did not show how to write more than one grantee as equal grantees. Both would have been helpful when husband and wife are granting their property to their children equally. Also when attaching the exhibit A with the property description the example did not say "see exhibit A"in the property description area, so I didn't write that. Luckily the recorder of deeds allowed me to write it in. I think directions and examples for multiple scenarios would be helpful.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Form and instructions were useful. But I suggest creating a form for transferring a deed pursuant to a trust. The existing form is based on a will going through probate so it doesn't fit the trust situation in some respects.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
