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.

I have had it reviewed by a mortgage broker and a title manager and both said it was done correctly! Your product and the instructions are what made this possible. It took me several hours as I continued to review your information. I just finished printing and ready to file. Yeah! Thanks! Highly recommend the product!

Lee County, FL did accept the "Satisfaction of Mortgage" form. It was easy to fill out except for a couple of areas. Your fill in areas need to accommodate for whatever space needed for the pertinent information we as customers have to fill out. As individuals, banks have their own. Example when there are more than 1 party and information needed. Example of Document #; I was 1 number short (using Exhibit A was ridiculous.) So I had to write in the # after printing. Very unprofessional looking on a legal document. Just saying. Also, in Lee County, FL your document # is called "Instrument #, not said in your instructions. Hope this information helps for updates on your forms.

. I purchased 3 different items yesterday. Truthfully, it was a bit annoying, I could not figure out how to put them in a cart and had to do 3 transactions. I'm in the process of reviewing my purchases. Thank you! .
