Questions answered? Let's get started!
Common uses:
1. Buyer Cannot Obtain Traditional Financing
The buyer may not qualify for a mortgage due to:
Poor credit
Limited employment history
Lack of down payment
A Contract for Deed allows the buyer to make monthly payments directly to the seller, like a private loan.
2. Seller Wants to Keep Control Until Paid in Full
Seller retains legal title as security.
If the buyer defaults, the seller can cancel the contract through statutory forfeiture under N.D.C.C. Chapter 32‑18.
3. Family or Private Sales
Often used in:
Intra-family transactions (e.g., selling to children)
"Rent-to-own" type arrangements
Private seller-financed sales of rural or agricultural property
4. Agricultural or Rural Property Sales
Used to allow gradual ownership over larger tracts of land.
Reduces need for third-party financing and fees.
5. Investor or Rehab Property Sales
Sellers may use a contract for deed to sell fixer-uppers or homes needing repair to investors or owner-occupants who intend to renovate during the term of the contract.

I accidentally ordered the wrong deed package. Was looking for a quit claim deed and got a trustee deed. I immediately emailed the company, nothing back from them. I would like to exchange my purchase.
Thank you for your feedback. We replied to your message on December 20th at 2:05 pm, the reply was as follows: As a one time courtesy we have canceled your order/payment for the Trustee Deed document.

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!

Nice site, easy to maneuver around, and walks you thru completing forms. However, at the end, the forms listed poorly explained. It would be helpful to have better explanations of the forms so people know which forms they really need to download.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I am a litigator based in Lee County that rarely needs to record deeds or mortgages. However, at times, the settlement or resolution of a dispute results in the conveyance of real property. I ended up in a situation where a deed to real property in Bradford County needed to be recorded on behalf of a client. My usual e-recording vendor does not include that County. Registering with Bradford County's regular e-recording vendor would have required an expensive and unnecessary annual fee. Deeds.com was easy to use, inexpensive and fast. I highly encourage its use, especially for lawyers that occasionally need to record instruments but do not do so regularly.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Might be adequate if I was desperate. Formatting screams amateur hour -- not a legal issue but likely to invite closer scrutiny when filed. Instructions were supposed to be county-specific but directed me to call the recorder to ask them how to fill out part of the form. Not planning to use the form and would not purchase it again. I could probably do better by uploading some examples and the original mortgage from the Recorder's website into Claude along with the transaction-specific information and asking Claude to prepare a more professional release.
Aaron, we’re sorry the form and instructions did not meet your expectations. Your order has been canceled and your payment refunded. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best with preparing the release in the way that works best for your situation.

The forms are extremely helpful. They could use some updating. Promissory note "...in the form of cash, check or money order." is a bit outdated. My note is with my son and we have an automatic bank transfer set up for payments. He could Venmo me. There are many other options and likely to be more changes in the future, so I know this is difficult to maintain.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I took a chance and downloaded the Beneficiary Deed form -- would have liked to have been able to see the form before I paid, but I took a chance as everywhere else I looked online wanted me to fill out form online and then pay $30+ for each deed. I'm doing several, so I was glad to be able to just download the blank form that appears to be one I can directly type into on my computer. Yay! Would use your site again if needed. Thanks!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
