In Nebraska, recording a Memorandum of Land Contract instead of the full land contract, contract for deed or purchase and sale agreement of real property
is a strategic decision with several legal and practical advantages. Here’s a breakdown of why many parties choose to record a memorandum rather than the entire contract for deed:
Advantages of Recording a Memorandum Instead of the Full Contract
1. Protects Privacy
A full land contract contains sensitive terms: purchase price, interest rate, payment schedule, remedies for default, etc.
A memorandum contains only basic identifying information (parties, legal description, date of agreement), keeping financial and legal details confidential.
This is especially important in private transactions or family sales.
2. Puts Third Parties on Notice
Recording a memorandum establishes public notice of the buyer’s equitable interest in the property.
Protects the buyer from future claims by:
Subsequent purchasers
Lenders who might try to encumber the property
Helps prevent fraud, like the seller trying to sell to another party.
3. Simplifies Recording Requirements
The memorandum is shorter, easier to format, and less expensive to prepare.
Avoids possible rejection from the Register of Deeds due to minor errors in the full contract.
4. Reduces Legal Exposure
Recording the full contract exposes both parties to unnecessary legal scrutiny (e.g., terms that might not comply with all disclosure laws).
If terms change or are renegotiated, a new contract may require re-recording. A memorandum avoids that.
5. Complies with Statutory Requirements
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-214, a memorandum of contract may be recorded with a completed Form 521 and the appropriate documentary stamp tax exemption (usually Exemption Code 13).
This makes it a compliant and efficient legal instrument for protecting interests without disclosing full details.

Easement deed contract was easy to complete, however after additional research raises some concerns because the Ohio deed does not list a requirement for witness signatures and does not provide lines or an area for witness signatures. The document does provide the necessary area for the notary information and the grantor and grantee.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This service is amazing! We have tried several other online recording services which all disappointed. Deeds.com got all three of our documents recorded same day as invoice payment. Thank you for the quick turn around! We will be using this service often.
We are sincerely grateful for your feedback and are committed to providing the highest quality service. Thank you for your trust in us.

These forms made it so easy to update the property deed and the instructions and sample filled out form were most helpful. You might want to add some brief information on when or why to use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity notary form. In my case the notary was required to use it but also filled in the brief notarize section on the Affidavit as well. She said the one on the Affidavit had some value because it showed she had witnessed the my signature. But this was only after I suggested both be filled in as she initially thought to just strike through it and just use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Works ok but could have more specific information. My wife and I both own the Quit Claim property, should we both sign as Grantors?
Thank you!
