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.

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 Affidavit Was Filed in Error or No Longer Applicable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.

I needed to file an affidavit of succession. I downloaded the forms and filled in the blanks. The instructions and example sheet were very helpful.

I used the quitclaim deed form, it was easy to fill out, had notarized and was accepted by the county's recorders office. Having a example form made it so much easier to fill out.

Perfect. Downloaded the forms with no issues, filled them out, had them notarized and recorded all in just a few hours (most of that time was spent at the recorder's office). Highly recommend.
