Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Release of Affidavit of Equitable Interest is a recorded document used to formally cancel and remove an Affidavit of Equitable Interest from public land records. Its purpose is to clear title, remove encumbrances, or reflect that a buyer’s equitable interest in a property is no longer valid or active.
Here are some common uses for a Release of Affidavit of Equitable Interest in Kansas

1. Contract for Deed Has Been Fully Satisfied
The buyer has completed all payment obligations.
Legal title has been conveyed via deed.
Recording the release helps avoid confusion over any lingering claims.

2. Buyer Defaults on the Contract
The buyer stops making payments or otherwise breaches the contract.
Seller may record a release after giving proper notice (often 15 days as per K.S.A. 58-5202).
Clears title so the seller can resell or refinance the property.

3. Mutual Termination or Cancellation
Both parties agree to cancel the contract for deed.
Buyer relinquishes their equitable interest voluntarily.
Recording the release helps prevent future title disputes.

4. Buyer Has Vacated or Abandoned the Property
If the buyer walks away from the contract/property.

5. Affidavit Was Filed in Error or No Longer Applicable
For example, the affidavit was mistakenly recorded or based on an unenforceable agreement.
Recording a release corrects the official land records.

6. Court Order or Settlement
A judge may order a release as part of a quiet title action or dispute resolution.
May also follow mediation, divorce, or estate settlement involving the property.

7. Clearing Title for Sale, Refinance, or Transfer
Lenders and title companies often require the release to be recorded before issuing a loan or insurance.
Ensures the property appears free of competing claims in title searches.

Recording the Release of Affidavit of Equitable Interest protects the seller, the buyer, and any third party (like a lender or future purchaser) by ensuring the public land records accurately reflect the current legal and equitable interests in the property.

Deeds.com has become a great assistant to our firm! The service is of highest quality and consistently helpful to our law firm in its recording needs. It's summer in Arizona and no one I know wants to drive to downtown Phoenix to record a property deed so think I will add "grateful" to my praise.

Thank you, Mary! We appreciate your kind words and are glad to help make recording easier — especially when it means avoiding a summer trip to downtown Phoenix. We’re grateful for your continued trust.

My biggest complaint is I did not know when my document was ready until I got this survey. An email should be sent to say document is ready.

Reply from Staff

Sorry about that David. We will look into better email notifications. Hope you have a great day.

This is an extremely user friendly site! I had been searching the internet for days for the proper Gift Deed document. I had no idea that my state, the great state of Mississippi had their own site. I am truly looking forward to using this site for additional available documents. Many more blessings to the creator of this site! Keep them coming! Thank You!

This was fantastic. I downloaded the document, filled it out, printed it, had it notarized and drove to the recorders office and had it recorded within less than 15 minutes. Instructions are precise and easy to understand. You saved me hundreds of dollars a lawyer would have charged for the same work.

The product is as advertised. I was unable to navigate this process because It is complicated and I am concerned about doing it wrong. The law is written in stupid language to make it difficult for all and keep the layering business going. Its a solid form but did not work for me. Thanks Chris

Thank you for your feedback Christopher. Sorry to hear that we’re not comfortable completing the process. It is always best to seek the advice of a legal professional is you are not completely sure of what you are doing.
