In Nevada, a Memorandum of Contract of Sale (also called a Memorandum of Agreement or Memorandum of Land Contract) is a valuable legal tool used to publicly document the existence of a real estate contract—without recording the full contract itself. It's especially important in transactions involving installment contracts, delayed closings, or equitable interests. Here's a breakdown of why and when to use it:
WHY Use a Memorandum of Contract in Nevada
1. Protect Buyer’s Equitable Interest
In land contracts or contracts with delayed transfer of title, the buyer gains an equitable interest before legal title is conveyed. A memorandum:
Protects the buyer by giving constructive notice to third parties.
Prevents the seller from fraudulently reselling or encumbering the property.
2. Avoid Recording the Full Contract
The actual contract may contain:
Private financial terms,
Personal agreements,
Or contingencies not intended for public view.
The memorandum is a summary—it protects privacy while putting the world on notice.
3. Prevent Title Problems
If a buyer records a memorandum and the seller tries to sell the property again, a title company will see the memorandum and flag it as a cloud on title.
This discourages improper resale or further encumbrance by the seller.
4. Assist with Financing or Assignments
A recorded memorandum can help the buyer show lenders, investors, or assignees that they have an interest in the property.
Especially useful in assignable land contracts or "subject-to" financing scenarios.
WHEN to Use a Memorandum of Contract in Nevada
Use a Memorandum at the time of contract execution or shortly after, especially in these situations:
Installment Sale / Land Contrat----------Buyer has equitable interest for years before title passes
Delayed Closing----------Contract is signed but closing may take months or years
Buyer is making improvements before closing----------Protects buyer’s interest during occupancy
Buyer intends to assign contract----------Recorded memorandum signals to assignees and lenders there’s a valid interest
Contract allows for possession before title transfer----------Prevents seller from misusing ownership during possession period
Seller has multiple obligations (like probate or divorce)----------Ensures the buyer’s interest is visible despite seller’s legal entanglements
Legal Basis in Nevada:
NRS 111.315: Recording documents provides constructive notice—protecting against future purchasers.
Nevada is a race-notice jurisdiction: priority goes to a subsequent purchaser only if they’re without notice and record first. The memorandum defeats that.
Purpose:
Protecting buyer’s interest---------Title passes later, but buyer pays or occupies now
Privacy---------You want to avoid disclosing full contract terms
Notice to third parties----------You want the public record to reflect buyer’s claim
Assignment / lending----------You need a recordable instrument to show interest
Legal leverage----------You want to cloud title if seller attempts to breach

Using the Administrators Deed, pay attention to "Exhibit A". The blank will allow you to type a full legal description BUT it will not save it. Use "Exhibit A" to type the legal description. The form was great and I filed it this morning with no problems.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
