Questions answered? Let's get started!

Michigan statute MCL 565.361 governs the release of a Memorandum of Contract related to land contracts, mortgages, or security assignments.
Here's how it affects the release: If a party has fully fulfilled its obligations under a land contract (e.g., the buyer has paid in full), the seller must execute a conveyance of land or provide a release of security interests.

Requirement to Provide a Release or Discharge: When a land contract mortgage or security assignment is fully satisfied, the party holding the interest (usually the seller or lender) must provide a discharge or release.

Failure or Refusal to Provide a Release: If a party fails or refuses to execute the required release or discharge after full payment, they may be subject to legal penalties and enforcement actions.
Marketability of Title: The statute ensures that once obligations are met and the necessary releases are executed, the property’s title is marketable, meaning it can be freely transferred or sold.

Enforcement & Penalties: If a seller or lender wrongfully withholds a release, the buyer or borrower can seek enforcement through legal action.

Subordination to Other Interests: The statute clarifies that certain real estate interests may take priority over a land contract, affecting the order of enforcement.

Effect on the Release of a Memorandum of Contract: A Memorandum of Contract is often recorded in place of a full land contract to put the public on notice of an agreement. When obligations are fulfilled, this statute requires the release of such a memorandum to clear the title.

Failure to release the memorandum after obligations are satisfied could lead to legal action and possible penalties under this law.

Important: Your property must be located in Branch County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

Easy to complete. I would suggest, since it is 2 pages, make a bigger space for land descriptions & sources.

As good as any of the rip off document services on the internet. Received the documents through download, were as described. Not as cheap as driving to the courthouse and getting them for free, but easier than doing so.

Reply from Staff

Thank you, Pat. We’re glad the documents were as described and easy to access. Just to clarify — Johnson County doesn’t provide a Transfer on Death Deed form. We make the correct, recordable version available, and any required supplemental forms are free on our site, with or without purchase.

You need to add some short-form mortgages and notes for those who don't want endless clauses which might scare the other party away.

Reply from Staff

Jeffrey, thank you for the feedback. It's worth noting that short-form mortgages generally incorporate the full provisions by reference to a master form or statute, so the underlying terms still apply even though they don't appear in the recorded document. That said, your point about simpler instruments for private and family lending is well taken, and we'll consider options that cover the essential terms more concisely. We appreciate you taking the time to share this.
