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 If it’s no longer valid—due to payoff, default, rescission, or other reasons—it needs to be formally released to prevent legal and transactional problems.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Cancelled or rescinded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.

As promised, my forms were immediately ready for download. The forms were exactly what i wanted. I couldnt be happier and i cant even guess how much money i saved. They were even formatted to the exact font, spacing and margin used by my county. It is obvious a lot of time and effort was put into the preparation of these documents. They are absolutely perfect. Check it out, you wont be disappointed and the price is much less than i expected.

Very straightforward. Only issue was it took a few times for the mineral deed form to show up. The first few times it instead showed a mineral rights transfer between operators.
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

The Executor's Guide needs more info about what to put for grantee (estate of deceased or my name as executor?) and the price (something nominal like $10?) before there is a buyer. The guide seems to use only one example.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Easy to download and use the forms, however two forms needed for my county recording were not included.
Thank you for your feedback Frank. We'll look into finding and including the additional supplemental documents. Sometimes supplemental documents have to be generated by the county's system, specific to the transaction.
