Questions answered? Let's get started!

In Maryland, you may choose to record a Memorandum of Land Installment Contract instead of the full original contract in certain situations. Here are the main reasons for recording a memorandum:

1. Privacy Concerns: A memorandum is a shorter document that outlines the essential terms of the land installment contract (such as parties involved, property description, and a reference to the contract), but it does not disclose all the financial terms and sensitive information. Recording the memorandum instead of the full contract can protect the privacy of the buyer and seller by keeping detailed terms of the agreement confidential.

2. Public Notice: Recording the memorandum still provides public notice of the contract’s existence and the parties' interests in the property without having to reveal all the contract terms. This ensures that third parties are aware that a land installment contract is in effect for the property.

3. Easier and Faster Recording: Since a memorandum is a brief document, it is typically quicker and easier to record. The land records office may process it faster than the full contract, which may contain numerous pages.

You might choose to record a memorandum instead of the full contract if you want to protect privacy, simplify the recording process, and still provide public notice of the agreement. However, check with the local county office to ensure that recording a memorandum is sufficient for your purposes.

This Memorandum is executed by BOTH party(s) solely for the purpose of being recorded in the public records of Maryland to give notice of the agreement and to confirm the agreement and all of its terms to the same extent as if all of the provisions of the agreement were fully set forth herein.

Important: Your property must be located in Cecil County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

I liked having the forms. Some may need to know they can look at the legal Description from online county records, then type up in Word document line by line, the degree sign in Word program is achieved by using alt and 248 on number pad. Then on the form page one write SEE Exibit A and title your Word program description as Exibit A. Goes without saying the legal description should be looked over many times and it is easier to do so if you format your Word the same lineage as the legal description online which is usually not text which is why you have to retype it.

This was so easy to use. I appreciated the finished sample to guide me and the proper attachments necessary to process my Quit Claim Deed. I am gifting it to my nephew as I am too old to run farm and I live in a different state now. I tried other websites but their info was not up to date or accurate. Thank you so much. 71 Y/O Nana.
