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 Charles County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.
This Memorandum of Land Installment Contract meets all recording requirements specific to Charles County.

Great resource and everything went smoothly except email was performed through autofill prompted by the system but the autofill added a letter that gave wrong email. I can still sign in with wrong email since the system recognizes it as mine even though it is wrong. May be my fault and not the system since I did not catch the discrepancy in time. I would suggest a field that allows a correction to any misinformation prior to signing out from the initial sign on. Still think it is a great resource if all documents are processed and accepted by the pwers to be. Thanks.
Thank you!

It would be helpful if an email was sent to notify you of any additional invoices needed, documents were accepted and/or recorded. It is not always convenient to check your website on a daily basis to determine the status of the requesting recordings.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The Quit Claim Deed for the state of Ohio worked for me, saving me the cost of an attorney doing it. O.K., maybe that wouldn't have amounted to more than a few hundred dollars, but anywhere I thought I could save money (and learn something new on top of it) is something I want to do. That said, be forwarned. While I'm not an attorney I'm not averse to spending many hours researching the lingo found in this kind of form and thoroughly understanding exactly how everything has to be filled in. I should add that my ex-wife and I remain friends and she was the one giving me the property/house (thus, technically I filled out the forms on her behalf). Because there was no personal conflict, it made it easier to undertake. Lastly, what others have said about the county office where you must file a Quit Claim Deed not being helpful, that's true in the sense that they do not want to be instructing non-attorneys on filling out the necessary forms. I did take a preliminary draft set of the forms to the county office but was VERY CAREFUL about explaining that I only needed a couple of questions answered about procedure for submitting the final documents. They were helpful once I made it clear I wasn't asking them for "legal advice". And their help was critical as the final submittals requires stopping at three different offices (MapDocuments, Auditor and finally the Recorder's office). So I say thank you to Deeds.com. Their service for the Quit Claim Deed was invaluable.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Contents were well done. Could not remove and replace the "Deeds/" footer, rendering the form unusable for filing with a court and county deed records. This should be corrected.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
