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.

The information and documents received are great. But the communication with customer service is not good at all. I've been waiting three days for them to respond to a question. I don't think they are going too.

The forms, instructions and example of the completed Interspousal Transfer Deed was very helpful. I was able to complete all necessary forms quickly and bring them to the County Recorder's Office for filing with no problems. It was a great relief, and I didn't even need to hire an attorney. Thank you!

The forms are extremely helpful. They could use some updating. Promissory note "...in the form of cash, check or money order." is a bit outdated. My note is with my son and we have an automatic bank transfer set up for payments. He could Venmo me. There are many other options and likely to be more changes in the future, so I know this is difficult to maintain.
