1. Contract Requirements
The contract must be:

It must contain the following key details:
Names and addresses of the vendor and purchaser.
Legal description of the property being sold.
The purchase price and terms of payment, including the number of installments and the payment schedule.
A statement of the interest rate (if applicable) and any late payment penalties.
The date the purchaser signed the contract.
The rights of both parties in case of default or breach of the contract.
A notice of the vendor’s right to terminate the contract upon the buyer’s default.
2. Recording the Contract
The vendor must record the contract with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the property is located within 15 days of the contract being executed. If the vendor fails to record the contract: The purchaser has the right to cancel the contract and demand a refund of all payments and deposits.
3. Purchaser’s Rights and Protections
Right to Cancel: The purchaser has the right to cancel the contract in certain situations, such as if the vendor fails to record the contract or provide necessary disclosures.
Statement of Account: The purchaser can request a written statement from the vendor detailing the balance remaining on the contract. The vendor is required to provide this information.
Possession of Property: The purchaser is entitled to possession of the property during the term of the contract, even though the vendor holds legal title.
4. Vendor’s Rights
The vendor has the right to terminate the contract if the purchaser defaults on the payments or breaches other terms of the contract. Upon termination, the vendor may take legal action to regain possession of the property.
5. Final Payment and Transfer of Title
Once the purchaser has made the final payment, the vendor is legally obligated to transfer full legal title to the property by delivering a deed to the purchaser.
6. Statute of Limitations
If there is no specified date for the delivery of the deed after full payment, any legal action related to the contract must be initiated within five years of the date the final payment was required under the terms of the contract.
7. Remedies for Breach
If the vendor violates the provisions of the statute (e.g., failing to record the contract or not providing required disclosures), the purchaser may file a lawsuit in a court of equity. The court can: Grant specific performance, requiring the vendor to fulfill their obligations.
Award damages to the purchaser.
Order the vendor to cover the purchaser’s legal fees.
8. Applicability
This statute applies specifically to residential properties and transactions involving owner-occupied dwellings. Land installment contracts for commercial or non-residential properties may be governed by additional or different rules.
Key Legal Citations:
Maryland Real Property Code, Title 10, Subtitle 1 (Land Installment Contracts).
This statutory framework is designed to protect both parties involved in a land installment sale, ensuring that the buyer gains possession and equitable interest while paying over time and that the seller retains the security of legal title until full payment is made.

This site was recommended by my County's Clerks office website. Let me tell you when I received my specific State and County's Quit Claim Deed forms from Deeds.com, every conceivable form that could be needed in addition to the full instructions, and a sample filled out form, I was impressed (five stars) and made things so easy for me to feel confident in my legal activity on a land transaction.
Thank you for your positive words! We’re thrilled to hear about your experience.

Thanks for providing this service. We had searched for weeks for the correct documents. It might help clients to find you soon if the banks and mortgage companies can refer clients to you. They require the forms but offer no direct source to obtain them. You are 5 star in every way.
Thank you!

Service was fantastic. So helpful and they promptly get back with you. No reason to drive if you are out of state and need to get a deed filed. Safe way to file if you don't want to go to public office or can't physically get there.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

These forms made it so easy to update the property deed and the instructions and sample filled out form were most helpful. You might want to add some brief information on when or why to use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity notary form. In my case the notary was required to use it but also filled in the brief notarize section on the Affidavit as well. She said the one on the Affidavit had some value because it showed she had witnessed the my signature. But this was only after I suggested both be filled in as she initially thought to just strike through it and just use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
