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

Key Legal Citations:
Maryland Real Property Code, Title 10, Subtitle 1 (Land Installment Contracts).

I am very pleased with my purchase of the Affidavit Death of Joint Tenant form. I previously purchased this form from the leading providing of DIY legal forms and it was rejected by the Registrar in my state. I then had to start over. Plus I needed a form that would show me a completed example and give me line-by-line instructions. Deeds.com filled the bill perfectly. Their website also let me know the last date the form was updated.
