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.

Deeds.com served my needs perfectly providing a form for a very reasonable price. Every other site was double or more. The form was easy to complete and I like that I can access it if I need to make changes. I had contacted a paralegal to prepare this form for me and she quoted $150. I saved time and money with Deeds.com.
