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Any reason the deal is no longer in force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.

Very Happy. Forms saved me from making some very silly mistakes had I done them on my own.

I needed a Missouri Notice of Intent to Sell without a named designated buyer. Mo Statutes require notice be notarized and filed 45 days before any closing to protect buyer from liens. You do not have that document. We are flipping a house so it must be filed. Our lawyer was on vacation. Cannot find one anywhere on net. Finally got a template from our title company.

I purchased the Notice of Completion form because the City of Chula Vista did not have a "fillable" version of this form on their website. The Deeds.com version of this form is somewhat different than the City's version (8 numbered paragraphs vs. 11 numbered paragraphs.) However, it contains the same information in a different format. This form provided more blank space to fill in important items- like a long ownership name- than the version on the City's website. The recorder's office was satisfied with this form as I hand-delivered it to the Recorder's Office and they approved it for recording. Overall, I found this form easy to use and found the extra blank space for writing on the form helpful. My one comment for possible improvement is: it would be even more helpful (particularly for attorney users) to have strike-out capability. I would have liked having the ability to strike-out inapplicable portions of long awkward sentences. Still, I would use this form again.

The service provided was exactly what I needed. The downloadable deed and supporting documents allowed me to move forward with the days project. Everything I needed to file my documents from two states away and at two in the morning! I highly recommend this site. I found it to be the easiest, most expedient and cost effective method to get up to date legal forms for filing land deeds.
