Its purpose is to clear title, remove encumbrances, or reflect that a buyer’s equitable interest in a property is no longer valid or active.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

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.

Excellent product. Wish I had found this site a week earlier. It would have saved me many hours of struggle and $40.00 in notary fees. Thanks and I will recommend to anyone needing forms.

Very easy and I appreciate that when you hover over the blank, directions pop up and tell you what to put in that blank. I also appreciated that when I lost the original password, I sent an email and Deeds.com cancelled my order, refunded my account, so that I could start over.

The form itself was very good and easy to use. The only problem I had was the Sample they provided. Using a different name in every spot doesnt help determine what goes where. Using "Theodore Rockafeller" as Lien Claimant in one spot and Jebediah Finklestein in another then Harvey Johnson in the last spot is confusing if you really need a helpful sample.

Thank you for your feedback James. We will have staff review the completed example to see if we can make it more helpful. Have a great day!
