Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Memorandum of Contract is a short-form document recorded with the Registry of Deeds to provide constructive notice of a pending or existing agreement involving the purchase or transfer of real estate. It protects the buyer's equitable interest and discourages third-party sales or encumbrances. A memorandum of agreement is typically recorded to give notice to third parties (like lenders or buyers) that a property is under contract. It usually:
Identifies the parties
Describes the property
States that there is a contract to sell
May include closing date or conditions
Often omits purchase price or other confidential terms

For use in Massachusetts only.

Had a difficult time finding my download after purchase. Thankfully I had printed the form and had. However it was read only and I'm not experienced enough to be able to change that. So I went into my word program and typed in the form. I should be able to use it for my purpose. Just glad I was finally able to find it after hours of searching online. I'm in my 70's and not real computer intelligent which may have been part of the problem

Sorry to hear of your struggle Margaret, we will try harder to make our forms easier for everyone.

AMAZING! Easy to use, reasonable fee - and get MUCH MORE than just a deed form. I ordered a "deed" and received a whole "package," including a guide and the jurisdiction's costs schedule and cover page that would be needed to record the deed - even included a Certificate of Transfer that is not required for a deed but something I needed for a different transaction. The website was extremely easy to use and the cautions about not disclosing personal information were so clear and personal, they made me feel secure in knowing this site was not trying to rip me off. Very professional. Well done.

After my county rejected a deed from another company, I researched better and purchased my Lady Bird Deed from Deeds.com. Very simple, received everything immediately. Printed out sample and guide sheets and filled out my deed. Very thorough and easy to understand. All the additional forms were awesome. And the best part is, my county recorded my deed this morning! WooHoo! Very happy customer! Thank you!

I'm transferring a property into a trust and ordered the QuitClaim Deed. Everything was pretty straight forward and user friendly. However, the Additional Information/Instructions for the Preliminary Change of Ownership Report skips from Section "I" to "M" and does not address "K". It would have been very helpful to have an explanation of the difference between the three options in that section. Thank you.
