Reasons to Release an Affidavit of Equitable Interest.

Clear Title for Future Transactions:
Recording a release removes any cloud on the property's title, facilitating smooth future sales, refinancing, or transfers.
Prevent Legal Complications: An unreleased affidavit might lead to disputes or legal actions, such as a quiet title lawsuit, to resolve any perceived claims against the property.
Maintain Accurate Public Records: Ensuring that public records reflect the current status of property interests upholds the integrity of property records and protects all parties involved.

When Should It Be Released.
Upon Completion of the Contract: Once all terms of the contract for deed or purchase agreement are fulfilled.
If the Contract is Terminated: When both parties agree to cancel the contract or if it's voided for any reason.
After Assignment: If the equitable interest has been assigned to another party, and the original affiant no longer holds any claim.

I am the Kent County Recorder of Deeds in Central Delaware. I am impressed by the accuracy of your website. All data you post is correct regarding forms, fees, etc. We have just spent several months researching Property Theft, using many cites from various sources. I just discovered your white paper on this subject, and it is excellent. It also covers a few things we did not, such as house flipping and immigrants. Congratulations!

The DOCUMENT AND INFORMATION WAS JUST WHAT I WANTED AND NEEDED. HOWEVER, NAVIGATING THE ON LINE PROCESS WAS A PROBLEM.. AT ONE POINT IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD PAID FOR THE PRODUCT AND LOST CONTACT WITH THE SYSTEM. I FINALLY GOT TO PRINT WHAT I PURCHASED. FOR SUCH I WOULD ONLY GIVE A FOUR STAR RATING.
