Questions answered? Let's get started!

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 If it’s no longer valid—due to payoff, default, rescission, or other reasons—it needs to be formally released to prevent legal and transactional problems.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Cancelled or rescinded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

Common reasons to Release a Memorandum of Land Contract
Scenario……………………………..Should You File a Release?
Buyer paid in full and received deed….Yes — contract fulfilled

Parties mutually cancel the contract ….Yes — prevent title issues

I found your site easy to use, though I would prefer an option to download to MWords but Adobe works well. The cost is very, very reasonable and provides documents I didn't know were needed. I would recommend this to anyone trying to deal with legal documents.
