Releasing a Memorandum of Land Contract in Nebraska is important because the memorandum is a public record that signals an equitable interest in the property. If it’s no longer valid—due to payoff, default, rescission, or other reasons—it needs to be formally released to prevent legal and transactional problems.
Reasons for release:
1. Removes Cloud on Title
A recorded memorandum creates a noticeable lien-like interest in the property.
If not released, it may block:
Sale or refinance by the seller
Title insurance issuance
Transfers to third parties
2. Prevents Future Legal Disputes
Without a release, future parties (buyers, creditors) may believe the land contract is still active.
The buyer or seller could face false claims, lawsuits, or delays in transactions.
3. Clarifies Contract Termination or Fulfillment
Confirms that the land contract has:
Been satisfied (i.e., paid in full and deed delivered)
Cancelled or rescinded
Terminated due to default or abandonment
Makes the termination part of the public record.
4. Protects the Seller
Prevents a buyer from later claiming ongoing interest or breach. Frees up the seller to sell, lease, or finance the property again.
5. Protects the Buyer
If the buyer walked away or defaulted, recording a release formally cuts off future responsibility.
Prevents confusion about taxes, liens, or legal obligations tied to the land contract.

Easy fill in the blanks form. Just FYI make sure you have a copy of whatever deed you are changing and the tax records. You will want the language to be identical.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

You dont really know what your buying until after you spend the money. Cant use any of them
Thank you for your feedback. Best practice is to know what you need before purchasing. Buying legal documents should not be a exploratory endeavor. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere.

Your system is completely unfriendly to the user. There is no clear way, unless you are a lawyer, to go through the the process without making mistakes. Very disappointed attempted user
Sorry to hear that we failed you Bernadette. We do hope that you were able to find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere.

Found this site very easy to navigate and customer service very supportive and quickly answers any questions you have regarding forms. Best of all you can get the forms you need and only pay for those forms, not tied to some ongoing fee that you must cancel if you have no further need beyond forms you've already purchased.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I thought the forms were good but expensive, Spending almost 30 dollars for a 3 page form was a stiff price to pay. I won't be getting any more

This was a seamless process. It probably took one minute to fill out my information and upload the document. It was formatted and sent immediately. It was processed the next day at the county recorders office. I have zero complaints. Before finding this company I spent an entire day calling and leaving messages at other e-filing companies like simplfile and others but they all required subscriptions. I just needed to file a single document now and then so that was not a good fit. (And those companies I found out still require the customer to do all the work!). Deeds.com kept me informed throughout the process every step. I'm happy to write this review. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
