Questions answered? Let's get started!
How It Helps a Quiet Title Action, Foreclosure Action or Release of Memorandum of Contract when the buyer has abandoned the property.
1. Creates a Public Record
Establishes a recorded timeline of default and abandonment.
Can be used to show that you made efforts to notify the buyer and that they ceased fulfilling obligations.
Helps satisfy the court’s requirement that the seller is acting in good faith.
2. Supports a Claim of Abandonment
Quiet title actions often require showing that no one else has a valid interest in the property.
The affidavit provides sworn, written evidence that the buyer no longer occupies, claims, or maintains the property.
3. Supplements Notice Requirements
Even if the buyer cannot be reached, the recorded affidavit can:
Show that you tried to locate or contact them
Help justify constructive notice (notice through public record) in lieu of personal service
4. Strengthens Foreclosure or Termination Case If proceeding with judicial foreclosure, the affidavit:
Lays out the buyer’s default in advance
Helps establish that default was material and ongoing
May streamline the case, especially if the buyer doesn’t respond
5. “Release of Memorandum of Contract” when property is abandoned.
If you cannot get the buyer to sign, but have evidence of:
Default
Abandonment
No claim or performance under the contract
Reference The recorded affidavit of abandonment (include its book/page)
Send notice of the release to the buyer’s last known address (optional but strongly advised)
You can move to release the memorandum yourself, but this is a legal gray area unless the contract authorizes you to do so unilaterally.
Legal Caution: While this approach is commonly used in practical title clearing, it’s not guaranteed to be bulletproof if the buyer later contests it. If the buyer resurfaces and claims an interest, you may still need to: File a quiet title action, or Get a court order confirming the termination.
An Affidavit of Abandonment strengthens your case to be most effective. While you still may need a court action to formally extinguish the buyer’s interest, a well-written, recorded Affidavit of Abandonment shows due diligence, documents breach and abandonment and may shorten or simplify litigation.
Important: Your property must be located in Monroe County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

I found Deeds to be okay except I was hoping it would give me a title or deed to my house if I would have known I would have just got a warranty deed I probably would not have pay the money but it's still worth it

The Oregon TODD transfer on death deed template worked great and was easy to use. They had instructions and a guide that had good pointers to filling everything out. It took about 2 weeks to mail in my filled TODD and receive it back from the county with their stamp. Would definitely use this service for other documents
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I used deeds.com to record a deed because the recording office closed due to Covid 19. It was easy to sign up and upload the documents I needed recorded and within 24 hours possibly even less, the deeds were recorded. I am very happy with the service and the $15 fee was affordable and worth every penny to get it done so quickly.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

My legal description exceeds the avaiable space in the one page Exhibit A...any way to add a second page as 'Exhibit A (continued)'?
It is not required to use the included exhibit page. Simply label your printed legal description as the appropriate exhibit.

I am still in the trial stage. I am an older lawyer. Any help I can get is worth it. Once you get used to the format and data fill in the deed thing is excellent. Very professional if not a little slow. I have only done three deeds in one state so I will have to see how it goes. I like the product and their attitude towards pleasing the customer. We'll see when I try the recording part.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
