Questions answered? Let's get started!
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.)

Easy to use and get forms I needed. Corporate need for an invoice/receipt could be a bit easier - have to print screen to get any info.
Thank you for your feedback Dave, we really appreciate it.

Signing up was easy and the form was amazing. The ability to type on it (I am on a MAC) was beyond my expectations, the ability to save a blank, save my two documents, save the instructions and sample was excellent. The documents are in the mail and we are hopefully they will be approved. Blessings,
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Deeds.com recorded documents for me without any issue. It's a good service and provides a lot of assistance on its web site. However, I asked for a printed receipt (i.e. an pdf copy of one), but after a staff provided me with an obvious answer, they simply ignored my follow up requests. I also asked a simple formatting question that they should have been able to answer; instead, they passed the buck and referred me to the recorder, which currently is a very time-consuming venture. They also have no telephone number for any issue. Generally, the service saves me the time and effort of physically recording a document, but when you think about $19.00 per recording seems like a steep price for the services rendered.
We appreciate your feedback Frankie. We are glad that we were able to submit your documents as requested. Sorry to hear that we let you down in other areas. We do encourage you to shop around for services that may better suit your needs. Have a wonderful day.

I was very pleased with the ease in use of the forms. I suggest making sure the sample copy is totally aligned with the exact same parts. I was a little confused about the portion "Subject to.." It was easy to make corrections, additions, etc because the page remained open, and I didn't have to re=open the forms continuously.
Thank you!

Great do it yourself forms (I used the Quitclaim deed). If you think you're going to need a lot of hand holding you might consider hiring an attorney. The guide and general information provided by deeds.com will help if you have some idea of what you are doing and you are willing to research a little. Your mileage may vary but for me, this was a very efficient and economical way to get my quitclaim deed done.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
