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.)

Five stars rating for sure. All so easy to download and print from your home computer. I live in rural Arizona and have no store to run in to like the lady at the County office told me, so Deeds.com is the best. Brenda Y.

These forms made it so easy to update the property deed and the instructions and sample filled out form were most helpful. You might want to add some brief information on when or why to use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity notary form. In my case the notary was required to use it but also filled in the brief notarize section on the Affidavit as well. She said the one on the Affidavit had some value because it showed she had witnessed the my signature. But this was only after I suggested both be filled in as she initially thought to just strike through it and just use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
