In New Jersey, a Release of Memorandum of Contract is a document executed to formally acknowledge that a prior agreement, typically a real estate contract, is no longer in effect. Here are the reasons why a seller might execute this document:
1. Termination of a Sales Contract: If a real estate transaction falls through—for example, if the buyer cannot secure financing or if a contingency is not met—the seller might execute a Release of Memorandum of Contract to legally confirm that the deal is no longer active.
2. N.J.S.A. 46:16-1 - Recording of Documents: This statute outlines the requirements for the recording of real property documents, such as deeds, mortgages, and memoranda of contracts. A Release of Memorandum of Contract is typically recorded to remove any encumbrance created by the original memorandum, clearing the title for future transactions.
3. Buyer's Release of Claims: By executing this release, the seller ensures that the buyer no longer has any claims or rights to the property under the previous contract, which allows the seller to move forward with selling the property to someone else.
4. Avoiding Legal Disputes: The release provides legal clarity, confirming that neither party has further obligations under the contract, which can help avoid potential disputes in the future.
5. N.J.S.A. 46:26A-1 et seq. - The New Jersey Recording Act: The Recording Act governs how documents related to real property must be filed and recorded with the county clerk or registrar. A Release of Memorandum of Contract must be recorded to ensure it is effective against third parties and to remove any notice of the previous contract from the public record.
The document effectively serves to "erase" any public record or legal claim that the buyer might have had under the earlier agreement.
Formatted to be executed by the Seller(s) or Seller's representative.

What a wonderful and easy task using deeds.com. I searched on line for the proper procedure to file a quit claim deed. It looked to confusing to do mysellf until I found deeds.com. With their instructions, I was able to fill out all the proper forms and file with the court in two days. Saved me at least a thousand dollars if I had an attorney do the same. Thank you. I will definitely use them again.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Purchased the Warranty Deed package for $19.95 which included all the forms I needed including instructions and a sample form. Seamless transaction filing with our local county clerk's office - she even commented it was one of the best prepared packages she has seen. Thanks for saving me a ton of money!

I am pleased with this electronic service in making a time sensitive deed transfer since very few options exist currently with the Covid 19 Crisis. This was the only rapid and available option to record the deed transfer and the fee was reasonable. I was able to upload my notarized and executed document and had a record number as well as the official document within 24 hours. It was simple and easy to use. Thank you deeds.com!!
Thank you Giustino, glad we could help.

Your website is very informative, and easy to use.The purchase and download process was clear and went well. I would add that your Virginia Quitclaim Deed Guide is very comprehensive and informative. This combined with the example form you provide is most helpful.

I purchased the DIY quitclaim deed forms for Florida and couldn’t be happier. The forms were clear, professional, and easy to follow. I had everything filled out and recorded without a single issue. Worth every penny — the site is great, and the forms are exactly what I needed. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much, Ed! We’re thrilled to hear that the Florida quitclaim deed forms worked perfectly for you and that the recording process went smoothly. We appreciate your trust and recommendation!
