Questions answered? Let's get started!
A "Contract for Deed," sometimes referred to as a Land Contract is a legal agreement in which the buyer of a property agrees to pay the seller the purchase price over a period of time. During this period, the buyer has possession of the property, but the seller retains legal title to the property until the full purchase price is paid.
Recording the Contract: In Kansas, it's usually a good idea to record the contract for deed or an Affidavit of Equitable Interest with the county register of deeds. This ensures public notice of the buyer's interest in the property and protects against subsequent claims.
Foreclosure Process: If the buyer defaults on a contract for deed, the seller may need to go through a judicial foreclosure process to regain possession of the property. Kansas law will specify the procedure, notice requirements, and redemption rights.
Equitable Title: Under a contract for deed, the buyer often holds equitable title to the property, meaning they have a right to obtain full legal title once the contract terms are fulfilled. However, until then, the legal title remains with the seller.
Rights and Obligations: The contract should clearly outline the rights and responsibilities of both the buyer and the seller, including payment schedules, property maintenance, tax obligations, and insurance.
Default and Acceleration Clauses: Contracts for deed commonly contain clauses that detail what constitutes a default and what happens in such a scenario, including the possibility of an acceleration clause which demands full payment upon default.
Annual Accounting Statement
Principal and Interest Breakdown: The statement should clearly show how much of the buyer's payments have been applied toward the principal balance of the property and how much has gone toward interest.
Remaining Balance: It should indicate the remaining balance of the principal after the year's payments have been applied.
Payment History: The statement might include a summary of the payments made during the year, including dates and amounts.
Taxes and Insurance: If the seller is responsible for paying property taxes and insurance from the buyer's payments (common in escrow arrangements), the statement should detail these payments.
Late Fees or Penalties: If any late fees or penalties were incurred during the year, these should also be documented.
Escrow Account Balance: If there is an escrow account associated with the contract, the statement should include the current balance of this account.
Legal Compliance: Ensure that the Annual Accounting Statement complies with any relevant Kansas laws and the specific terms of your Contract for Deed.

Amazing fast service. From the U.K. I was unable to get a check in U.S. dollars. This solved my problem as I was able to make payment with a card. So much faster than sending the documents from the U.K. via the postal service. Easy to use site, very quickly processed. Highly recommend

Thank you so much for providing simple but very significant documents one can basically do PRO SE, without any additional huge counsel expenses and yet be legitimate enough to officially file them as state law allows and extends to basic documents processing and filings. Thank you so much for the professional documents provided as they do the proper job. MP

So far the service seems good, simple to use. One criticism, the password change feature should require the user to re-enter their old password, new password, and re-enter the new password to make sure there is no typos. Thanks.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
