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 This document signifies that the contract (often a purchase and sale agreement or a contract for deed) is no longer in effect, either because the terms of the contract have been fulfilled or the contract has been terminated.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ensures that third parties, including potential buyers, lenders, or title companies, are aware that the contract is no longer in effect.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 Dutchess County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

This site was recommended to me. The deed worked just fine for recording a property transfer (Warranty Deed). What I like is that there is a 1 time fee, not a subscription. I would highly recommend. It saved us $2000 in closing costs and fees.
Thank you!

Very straightforward. Only issue was it took a few times for the mineral deed form to show up. The first few times it instead showed a mineral rights transfer between operators.
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Forms appear to be most current and instructions clear. Inserting grantor/grantee information onto form a bit "clunky" however no major issues. I will be using services again.
Thank you!

I don't pay very close attention to what I'm doing all the time which leads to mistakes. Deeds.com was helpful in correcting my error and getting me on my way.
