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 Union County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

This Affidavit of Abandonment meets all recording requirements specific to Union County.

Found the service useful and straightforward. The only recommendation would be to send an e-mail notification to the request or when their package is ready for download. Mine, apparently, was ready within and hour or so after placing the request but did not go back onto the site until a day later to find it was ready.

Your website advertising was somewhat deceptive regarding doing a quitclaim on a name change. "If you are transferring the property to yourself under your new name, all you have to do is update the deed from your former name to your current one." This made this sound easy. But when I downloaded the material for my state, expecting to find an example, there was no example of how to do a name change quitclaim deed! I therefore had to figure this out myself. You might have provided a warning about certain uses that were not covered in the material so that people know ahead of time that the use they needed to know about wasn't covered in the material.

I needed a Contest of Lien form and was told by our County Department that the forms could be obtained online. The whole process of paying and receiving a PDF re-usable form was user friendly and the items that came with the purchase;the directions about filling out the form ect., were a fantastic addition for the price of the document. Happy customer!
