In New York State, a Release of Memorandum of Contract is recorded to formally remove the notice of a real estate contract that had previously been recorded. This document signifies that the contract (often a purchase and sale agreement or a contract for deed) is no longer in effect, either because the terms of the contract have been fulfilled or the contract has been terminated. Here’s an overview of how and why to record this document in New York:
Why Record a "Release of Memorandum of Contract"
Clear the Title: Recording a Release of Memorandum of Contract clears any potential cloud on the title of the property. A recorded Memorandum of Contract serves as notice to the public that there is an existing contractual interest in the property. When the contract is fulfilled, canceled, or terminated, recording the release removes any claim or encumbrance on the property, allowing the title to be clear for future transactions.
Notify Third Parties: The release ensures that third parties, including potential buyers, lenders, or title companies, are aware that the contract is no longer in effect. It helps avoid confusion during title searches and prevents disputes that could arise if someone assumes the contract is still valid.
Prevent Future Disputes: Failing to record a release could lead to legal issues or disputes over whether the property is still subject to the terms of the original contract. Recording the release provides conclusive evidence that the contract has been fully performed or terminated.
Fulfill Contractual or Legal Obligations: Some contracts explicitly require the release of a memorandum upon fulfillment or termination. Recording the release helps the parties comply with their legal and contractual obligations, ensuring that all steps are properly documented.
Maintain Accurate Public Records: Recording the release helps maintain the integrity of public records. It provides clarity to any party reviewing the chain of title, as it removes any encumbrance or claim related to the contract from the property’s record.
Important: Your property must be located in Cortland County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

The Transfer on Death Deed paperwork was easy to complete, as it included a detailed guide and a completed example. We encountered no issues recording the document with our County. Thanks to Deeds.com, we were also able to save time and money by utilizing a DIY approach for our situation.
We are delighted to have been of service. Thank you for the positive review!

I did not receive the information in a timely fashion as stated on the website. I would not recommend this service.
Thank you for your feedback Sandra. In reviewing your order I see that it did take our staff 11 minutes to respond to your order. That is significantly longer than the 10 minute average listed on our website. Even in these unprecedented times of quarantines and staff shortages our failure is unacceptable. We have fully refunded your account and we do hope that you found something more suitable to your needs elsewhere.

My E-deed was not excepted by the county, so I had to snail mail the documents to the recorders office. Will probably not use this site again, as it did not fulfill my purpose, but would recommend to those who do not have complicated forms.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Being new at this, the system was somewhat difficult to understand at first. It took a couple of tries before I got it. It seems to be somewhat slow as well. However, it's a wonderful idea to have documents recorded from the comfort of your home, especially in the times that we are in with COVID19. I definitely don't mind paying the fee which I thought was reasonable.
Thank you!

Fast service. From the time I sent my Quit Claim Deed to deeds.com, and six hours later my deed was recorded. It was painless, great convenience.
Thank you!

I am happy with the document but did not know that it would still have to go before the court. Thought it could be handled by the recorder of deeds.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Communication is hard. The reps need to be empowered and encouraged to call the customers when necessary. They encourage 300 dpi resolution and under 2 MB PDF file, which is not even possible with our scanner. They made a vague comment about a legal description looking abbreviated but did not explain. They refused to call me. They said the county said "Image is light please darken", but the image looked fine to me. Maybe not their fault, but they refused to help work with the county on that for me. I followed their suggestion though and re-scanned at 300 dpi, but they misunderstood me and did not re-submit it right away. Over 48 hours later, it's still not recorded yet. I hope it will be today.
Thank you for your feedback Todd.
