Questions answered? Let's get started!

In Nevada, a contract of sale—also known as a land contract, installment sale agreement, or contract for deed—is a type of real estate agreement in which the buyer agrees to purchase property from the seller by making payments over time, but legal title does not transfer to the buyer until the full purchase price is paid.

Use: Often used when traditional mortgage financing is unavailable or when parties want to avoid conventional lenders.

Common in private sales, owner-financed deals, or situations involving lower credit buyers.

How It Is Used in Practice:
Negotiation: Buyer and seller agree on price, interest rate (if any), length of the contract, and other terms like default procedures.

Contract Execution: Both parties sign a written agreement outlining terms and responsibilities.
Contract is typically notarized and recorded to protect the buyer's interest.

Possession & Payments: Buyer usually takes possession of the property and begins making payments.
Buyer is responsible for maintenance, taxes, and insurance, as per the contract.

Default: If the buyer defaults, the contract may allow the seller to cancel the agreement, retain payments made (depending on the terms), and regain possession.
Nevada does not require judicial foreclosure in most land contracts, allowing faster remedies for sellers.

Completion: When the buyer fulfills all payment obligations, the seller is legally obligated to convey the deed/title to the buyer.
In a land contract, the seller retains legal title until the buyer pays the full price.
Because the buyer does not hold legal title, a foreclosure (which removes title) is not legally necessary.

Contractual Default Clauses: This Nevada contract include a clause stating that if the buyer defaults (misses payments, fails to insure the property, etc.), the seller can Cancel the contract.

DEFAULT BY BUYER CLAUSE (that is included): In addition to any and all other rights available according to law, if either party defaults by failing to substantially perform any material provision, term or condition of this Contract (including without limitation the failure to make a monetary payment when due), the other party may elect to cancel this Contract if the default is not cured within 30 days after providing written notice to the defaulting party. The notice shall describe with sufficient detail the nature of the default. The Seller maintains the right and authority to reclaim the Property or to foreclose on the Property if the default is not cured within 30 days.

Note: "The Seller maintains the right and authority to reclaim the Property or to foreclose on the Property if the default is not cured within 30 days."
This gives the seller two specific remedies if the buyer defaults and fails to cure it:
1. Reclaim the property – typically means canceling the contract and evicting the buyer using Nevada’s nonjudicial process (e.g., summary eviction).
2. Foreclose on the property – if the seller prefers, they can initiate judicial foreclosure (e.g., if the buyer has built up significant equity or if required under the contract).

Note: This clause is a standard but robust default clause that:
Applies to both buyer and seller;
Gives 30 days to fix a material breach after written notice;
Allows cancellation of the contract if the breach isn’t fixed;
Gives the seller the specific right to either reclaim or foreclose if the buyer defaults and fails to cure.
This approach is legally flexible, giving the seller control while protecting both parties with a clear notice-and-cure procedure.

Use for residential, rental units, vacant land, condominiums and small commercial property.
Nevada only.

First, I am glad that you gave a blank copy, an example copy, and a 'guide'. It made it much easier to do. Overall I was very happy with your products and organization... however, things got pretty confusing and I have a pretty 'serious' law background in Real Estate and Civil law. With that said, I spent about 10+ hours getting my work done, using the Deed of Trust and Promissory note from you and there were a few problems: First, it would be FANTASTIC if you actually aligned your guide to actually match the Deed or Promissory Note. What I mean is that if the Deed says 'section (E)' then your guide shouldn't be 'randomly' numbered as 1,2,3, for advice/instructions, but should EXACTLY match 'section (E)'. Some places you have to 'hunt' for what you are looking for, and if you did it based on my suggestion, you wouldn't need to 'hunt' and it would avoid confusion. 2nd: This one really 'hurt'... you had something called the 'Deed of Trust Master Form' yet you had basically no information on what it was or how to use it. The only information you had was a small section at the top of the 'Short Form Deed of Trust Guide'. Holy Cow, was that 'section' super confusing. I still don't know if I did it correctly, but your guide says only put a return address on it and leave the rest of the 16 or so page Deed of Trust beneath it blank... and then include your 'Deed of Trust' (I had to assume the short form deed that I had just created) as part of it. I had to assume that I had to print off the entire 17 page or so title page and blank deed. I also had to assume that the promissory note was supposed to be EXHIBIT A or B on the Short Form Deed. It would be great if someone would take a serious look at that short section in your 'Short Form Deed of Trust Guide' and realize that those of us using your products are seriously turning this into a county clerk to file and that most of us, probably already have a property that has an existing Deed... or at least can find one in the county records if necessary... and make sure that you make a distinction between the Deed for the property that already exists, versus the Deed of Trust and Promissory note that we are trying to file. Thanks.
