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.

After some initial general confusion -- (we sold a small piece of land privately and therefore do not typically prepare such documentation (!)) -- we were able to purchase and download all forms from Deeds.com and understand how to complete it/them. The help is all there, we just needed to read and study it - the "Example" helped alot. We were able to complete the Document per your online form(s) and then take it to be signed/notarized - and take the completed paper document to the Registry -- and it is now all registered and we are All Set. rn Took the morning (only). THANK YOU. A wonderful tool!!

Awesome!

Quick service and well worth the very minimal fee for the convenience of being able to quickly record my mothers will without having to leave the house.

Also, our court is currently closed due to Covid.
So happy to have found Deeds.com
