Key Purposes of the Affidavit in Missouri:
1. Public Notice of Buyer’s Interest
Records the buyer’s equitable interest in the property with the county Recorder of Deeds.
Alerts anyone doing a title search (e.g., other buyers, lenders, title companies) that a prior claim exists.
2. Protects Against Seller Misconduct
Prevents the seller from:
Reselling the property to someone else.
Taking out loans against the property without disclosure.
Makes it harder for the seller to act in bad faith or “back out” after contract execution.
3. Supports Legal Standing in Court
Establishes evidence that a buyer has taken action to protect their interest.
Useful in disputes involving breach of contract, specific performance, or fraud.
4. Used in Creative Financing / Wholesaling
Common tool used by real estate investors or wholesalers to "cloud title" and ensure their deal doesn’t get bypassed.
Especially useful in Contracts for Deed, lease-options, and assignment deals.
5. Low-Commitment Alternative to Full Contract Recording
Instead of recording the full sales contract (which may contain sensitive info), the affidavit briefly states that a contract exists and protects the buyer's interest.
Legal Effect in Missouri:
Does not transfer legal title
Does not create a lien—it simply notifies the public of your interest
Gives priority rights if filed before others (like mechanics’ liens, new purchase agreements, etc.)

I had a great experience using Deeds.com to file my legal document. The whole process was simple and easy to follow. The website walks you through each step, and everything is explained clearly. At one point, I had to resubmit my documents, but even that was quick and easy. There were clear instructions, and I had no trouble making the changes and sending them again. The communication was great too. I was kept updated the whole time, and any questions I had were answered fast. If you need to file legal documents and want a stress-free way to do it, I definitely recommend Deeds.com. They made the whole process smooth from start to finish.
Thank you, Liliana! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're glad everything went smoothly and that our team could support you when needed. It means a lot to know you'd recommend us!

The process was easy and cost was reasonable. My only suggestion is to allow user the ability to shorten the space between the county and state and the space after the month. I needed to draw a line at the courthouse before they would file it.
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I am happy with the document but did not know that it would still have to go before the court. Thought it could be handled by the recorder of deeds.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I purchased the DIY quitclaim deed forms for Florida and couldn’t be happier. The forms were clear, professional, and easy to follow. I had everything filled out and recorded without a single issue. Worth every penny — the site is great, and the forms are exactly what I needed. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much, Ed! We’re thrilled to hear that the Florida quitclaim deed forms worked perfectly for you and that the recording process went smoothly. We appreciate your trust and recommendation!

The website was easy to navigate but only needed one form. The guide was helpful also. Cost want high but contains many documents that I didn't need but may someday. Could not save form after completed but printed copies that needed to be court filed.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
