Questions answered? Let's get started!

Use this form to release a Memorandum of Contract when satisfied.

Common Reasons to Release a Memorandum of Contract:
1. Clear Title to the Property
The Memorandum of Contract acts as a public notice that the buyer and seller are in an ongoing contractual relationship regarding the property, which can cloud the title. Once the contract for deed is satisfied, the buyer becomes the full owner of the property, and the memorandum no longer serves a purpose. If it is not released, it may appear as an unresolved encumbrance, which can complicate the buyer’s ability to prove clear title or transfer the property in the future.

2. Facilitates Future Transactions
A property with a clouded title (due to the unreleased memorandum) can cause issues when the buyer wants to:
Sell the property.
Refinance the property.
Use the property as collateral for a loan.

Title companies often refuse to issue title insurance for a property if a recorded memorandum remains on file, which could hinder or prevent future transactions.

3. Removes Legal Encumbrances
An unreleased memorandum could be interpreted as an ongoing interest or claim on the property by the seller. This can create legal complications, leading to potential disputes or litigation, especially if the seller or third parties assert a claim on the property based on the unreleased memorandum. Releasing the memorandum removes this potential legal encumbrance.

4. Compliance with Recording Laws
Mississippi statutes, like Mississippi Code § 89-5-19, require the release of recorded instruments once they have been satisfied. Failure to do so may violate these statutory obligations and could subject the parties (usually the seller) to penalties or legal consequences. Properly recording the release ensures compliance with state law.

5. Prevents Misunderstandings or Fraud
Leaving a recorded memorandum in place may cause confusion or even fraud in the future, especially if third parties mistakenly believe that the contract is still active. This can lead to misunderstandings, disputes, or fraudulent claims of ownership. By releasing the memorandum, the public record clearly shows that the contract has been concluded.

6. Buyer’s Right to Clear Ownership
Upon satisfaction of the contract for deed, the buyer has the right to full and unencumbered ownership of the property. Releasing the memorandum ensures that there is no record of the seller having an ongoing claim or interest, affirming the buyer’s rightful ownership.

Usually I have trouble registering things online, even though people tell me it's easy. This time, it WAS easy and fast, and I'm grateful I didn't have to drive somewhere and stand in line. Thank you!

Bottom line - it was certainly worth the $21 (+-?) I paid for the form and instructions, etc. Admittedly the form is a little inflexible in terms of editing for readability but I understand that offering greater flexibility would likely make theft more likely. So I'm happy with what I got. One suggestion - add more info about what's required in the "Source of Title" section.

Spot on forms and process. YMMV but way more efficient and cost effective than contacting an ambulance... attorney.

Exactly what I needed and VERY fair price. I paid $19.97 for what a local attorney wanted $200 to do. I filled out the form using the line by line guide and filed it at the court house today. Absolutely no problems.
