Questions answered? Let's get started!
Contract for Deed (sometimes referred to as a Land Contract) – Missouri use and applications:
When Buyer Cannot Qualify for Traditional Financing.
Often used by buyers who may not meet bank loan requirements due to credit or income issues.
When Seller Financing is Preferred or Necessary.
When Sellers may offer this arrangement to broaden their buyer pool or avoid dealing with banks.
When Property is Being Sold “As Is”.
Often used in cases involving older or distressed properties where a conventional mortgage would be harder to obtain.
Investment Property Transactions.
Sometimes used in investor deals where holding title back until payment completion is part of the deal structure.
For Sale by Owner (FSBO) Deals.
Common in informal or family transactions without a real estate agent.
Land Sales or Rural Property.
Sometimes used when raw land or agricultural property is sold, especially if the buyer is planning gradual development. Use this form for residential property, rental property, Condominiums, vacant land, small commercial property and planned unit development property. For use in Missouri only.
Things to Consider:
Buyer Risk: Since legal title doesn't transfer until full payment, the buyer can lose the property (and payments made) if they default.
Seller Risk: The seller may have to go through legal action (sometimes similar to eviction or foreclosure) if the buyer defaults.
Recording: Buyer shall be authorized to execute and record this “Contract for Deed” or an “Affidavit of Equitable Agreement” on or after Initial closing.
Important: Your property must be located in Vernon County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

Requires you work in Adobe Acrobat. Too difficult to edit, add and erase for an attorney.
Sorry to hear of your struggle. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

Site is easy to navigate and forms are as described. Too bad there is no secure payment link service (PayPal, Apple Pay, etc. So after I verify charge has hit my credit card I will delete my Deeds.com account.
Thank you!

The experience was generally very satisfactory. I was able to fill out the Trust Deed and send it via email no problem. However, I was not able to send the filled out form of the Note. It always erased my fill-ins when it was sent. I found that very frustrating.
Thank you, Gordon. Glad the Trust Deed worked well. Issues like the one you reported with the Note can sometimes be related to how the file is opened or sent. Using Adobe Reader to fill, save, and send the form is recommended. We also pass along all feedback like this to our team to confirm there are no issues.
