A Notice of Termination must be sent to all parties who have filed a Notice of Contract, if the contract has been terminated prior to the filing or recording of a Notice of Substantial Completion. M.G.L. Ch. 254, 2(b). If the contract is terminated, the owner must execute and file or record a Notice of Termination in the registry of deeds for the county where the subject property is located. Id.

The Notice of Termination includes the dates of the contract, names of the owner and contractor, and a legal description of the subject property. Id.

A copy of the Notice, indicating the date of filing or recording, must be mailed by the owner, via certified mail with return receipt requested, to every person who has filed or recorded a Notice of Contract and to the contractor. Id. When the contractor receives the Notice of Termination from the owner, the contractor must in turn deliver a copy to every person who has entered into a written contract directly with the contractor or who has given the contractor a written Notice of Identification. Id.

The failure of the owner or contractor to give notice of the filing or recording of the Notice of Termination to any person entitled will not prejudice the rights of any third parties who have relied upon it in good faith and without actual knowledge of such failure of notice. Id.

Not sure whether the two forms I printed will be helpful or not. Will find out when I go to a place for completion and to be notorized.

I was hoping to find information of a property belonging to my grandparents. Your site says it can go back 10-20 years I will just have to go to the courthouse and research. But very good site if your looking for recent information.

Thank you for your services...Attny office quoted a very large fee for the "TOD DEED" process, so this is very helpful that I am able to take care of this myself. If I would have researched your link sooner, I could have saved my Dad a lot of money for the "SURVIVORSHIP DEED". Thanks again & have a wonderful day:)

Your website is very informative, and easy to use.The purchase and download process was clear and went well. I would add that your Virginia Quitclaim Deed Guide is very comprehensive and informative. This combined with the example form you provide is most helpful.
Thank You. Brian R
