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of Contract is a document executed to formally acknowledge that a prior agreement, typically a real estate contract, is no longer in effect.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contingency is not met—the seller might execute a Release of Memorandum of Contract to legally confirm that the deal is no longer active.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.

The process was easy and cost was reasonable. My only suggestion is to allow user the ability to shorten the space between the county and state and the space after the month. I needed to draw a line at the courthouse before they would file it.
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Highly Pleased- Strongly Recommend Deeds.com Long review... sorry:-) Originally I was very skeptical due to the enormous amount of the scams going on now days and the number of online sources that "claim" to provide you with deed forms for free or for a few. Nothing that you need and want done is free. There is always a cost. So luckily I came across deeds.com. This was the only site that appeared to be simple, to the point, and made no crazy promises. So before selecting this site, I did a little more checking around/price checking to ensure I am getting the best price for the product I needed. I even checked Staples and Amazon to find that they do indeed sell these forms but I do not think the products they provide are specific for my state and county. They claim their forms provided are for all states but my state is specific and I prefer to have forms provided by Deeds.com that is based on Indiana statute that Deed.com clearly identifies on each form. Deeds.com price of $20 seemed a little high at first but when I saw the products provided, the $20 cost is more than reasonable and fair. You not only get the deed form specific for my state and my specific "county" but also the other various/supplemental forms that may be required. Being familiar with my state and knowing how tedious and anal my state is on everything, I was pleasantly please to see the info and extra supplemental forms provided. For example, a person new to the State who recently had property deeded to them, would not necessarily know about the Homestead tax exemption provided if property is your primary residents, over 65 exemption etc. I would highly recommend this site for anyone needing these documents because Deeds.com has you covered on any and all forms/info you could ever need! A bonus is that there is one flat fee and not monthly cost that you have to worry about canceling later unless you superficially select a monthly package. I love the fact that Deeds.com is nothing fancy. There is not a bunch of elaborate graphics etc. They only provide what you need and what they provide is very accurate. Deeds.com has a customer for life.
Thank you so much Alexis. We appreciate you, have a fantastic day.

Great forms - I got several property deeds and really appreciated that they came with the required state forms (for NY). the sample completed form is also really helpful. Attorney wanted hundreds- with this form it is the same amount of work but I can file myself for the cost of lunch!!

It was frustrating to get the scans done but that might have been due to a learning curve. After 4 tries they were accepted. I couldn't figure out how to delete or close the failed attempts. Waiting to see if Recorder office has changed the title.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
