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.

The boxes do not allow you to add the entire information. The after recording return to box would not let me add a zipcode.

Thanks for the feedback Rhonda, we’ll take a look at that input field.

I live in AZ and have an existing beneficiary deed on my property. I needed to know the process of revoking a beneficiary deed. Your site was very helpful by providing the correct form and instructions for recording it. Thank you!

I was informed that a quit Claim Deed that I had submitted, did not meet county requirements. I ordered the correct form and was surprised that the form included instructions and a sample "completed" form for me to follow. I found it al very helpful. Thank you !!!

Easy access to forms saving lots of time researching reqmts from a State/Municipal Govt website. I saved 400-500 in lawyer fees but getting these forms, and coordinating with the Property recorders office in another state. Will use you again.

Thank you James. We really appreciate your feedback.

These forms made it so easy to update the property deed and the instructions and sample filled out form were most helpful. You might want to add some brief information on when or why to use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity notary form. In my case the notary was required to use it but also filled in the brief notarize section on the Affidavit as well. She said the one on the Affidavit had some value because it showed she had witnessed the my signature. But this was only after I suggested both be filled in as she initially thought to just strike through it and just use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity form.
