Questions answered? Let's get started!

Once the contract is fulfilled, terminated, or void, the recorded memorandum needs to be released to:

1. Clear Title
A recorded memorandum clouds the title and may prevent:
Refinancing
Selling the property
Title insurance being issued
Releasing it removes the cloud and restores a clear record of ownership.

2. Document the End of the Agreement
A release shows that the agreement no longer has legal force.
It protects both parties from future disputes or claims.

3. Protect Future Buyers
Prevents confusion or legal complications for a future buyer or lender who may otherwise believe the contract is still active.

When to Release a Memorandum of Contract
You should release the memorandum as soon as one of the following happens:
1. The Contract is Completed
The buyer made the final payment and received the deed.
At this point, the contract for deed is fulfilled, and the memo should be released.

2. The Contract is Terminated
Due to buyer default
Mutual agreement to cancel
Abandonment of the property
Any reason the deal is no longer in force
In these cases, the party who recorded the memorandum (usually the buyer) should file a Release of Memorandum of Contract with the County Clerk where it was originally recorded.
3. By Court Order
If one party refuses to release it (e.g., an uncooperative buyer), the other party may file a quiet title action and obtain a court order to release it.

Who Releases It?
Typically the buyer (as the “releasor”), because they usually record the memorandum.
But if the buyer is in default, the seller may need to:
Request the release
Or take legal action to force it

Record with the County Clerk’s office.

Quick and easy. Would recommend this site to everyone. Deed was sent to the site and recorded at my local county within 24 hours. Website could be set up better. Not labeled well for us that is not computer savvy.

The Transfer on Death Deed form package was very good. But like anything, could use some improvements. There is not enough space to fill more than one beneficiary with any level of additional detail like "as his sole and separate property" The area for the legal description could be a bit bigger and potentially fit many legal descriptions. Or it could be made to simply say "See Exhibit A" as is likely necessary for most anyway. The guide should indicate what "homestead property" means so the user doesn't have to research the legal definition. (which turns out to be obvious, at least in my state, if you live there, it's your homestead.) It would be helpful if an "Affidavit of Death" form were included in the package for instances where the current deed hasn't been updated to reflect a widowed owner as the sole owner before recording with only the one signature.
