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 If it’s no longer valid—due to payoff, default, rescission, or other reasons—it needs to be formally released to prevent legal and transactional problems.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Cancelled or rescinded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

The Transfer on Death Deed form package was very good. But like anything, could use some improvements.
There is not enough space to fill more than one beneficiary with any level of additional detail like "as his sole and separate property"
The area for the legal description could be a bit bigger and potentially fit many legal descriptions. Or it could be made to simply say "See Exhibit A" as is likely necessary for most anyway.
The guide should indicate what "homestead property" means so the user doesn't have to research the legal definition. (which turns out to be obvious, at least in my state, if you live there, it's your homestead.)
It would be helpful if an "Affidavit of Death" form were included in the package for instances where the current deed hasn't been updated to reflect a widowed owner as the sole owner before recording with only the one signature.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
