In North Dakota, a Notice of Contract for Deed is typically recorded more frequently than a Memorandum of Contract because:

1. It Provides Specific Statutory Protection
North Dakota law (specifically N.D.C.C. § 32-18-01 through 32-18-08) governs land contracts (contracts for deed), and the Notice of Contract for Deed is explicitly referenced in the statutory process for cancellation and enforcement.

Recording a Notice of Contract for Deed ensures:
Public notice of the buyer’s equitable interest.

The buyer is protected from claims by future buyers or creditors of the seller.

Triggering of statutory procedures if the seller wants to cancel the contract under Chapter 32-18.

2. Easier for Title and Recording Purposes
County recorders in North Dakota are familiar with Notices of Contract for Deed and often prefer them because:
They meet formatting and indexing requirements better.
They are more easily searchable in the public record.
Title companies more readily recognize them when issuing commitments or policies.

3. Often Required for Statutory Cancellation
Per N.D.C.C. § 32-18-03, if a seller wants to cancel a land contract due to buyer default, a Notice of Cancellation must be served. This process is easier if a Notice of Contract for Deed was previously recorded.

Memorandum of Contract vs. Notice of Contract
Notice of Contract for Deed---Memorandum of Contract
Specific to ND statute: Yes-----No
Protects buyer’s rights: Strongly-----Possibly
Recording preference: Preferred---Less common
Triggers cancellation rules: Yes------No

A Notice of Contract for Deed is recorded more frequently than a Memorandum of Contract in North Dakota because it:

Offers clearer statutory protections
Is specifically contemplated in cancellation statutes
Better serves title, enforcement, and recording needs
Is more comprehensive and standardized

Most people coming to this sight will not have the knowledge for deeds. Therefore, I wish there were more instructions on when the Grantor signs and when the Grantee signs and the process steps to making the transaction final. I would give it 4 out of 5 starts

The download of forms, etc. was easy and the guides that were provided were good, but more information would have been nice as to where to find tax map #, parcel #, and district mentioned in Exemptions from Property Transfer Fees (and Declaration of Consideration or Value. In general, I was quite pleased with your product.

This was so easy to use. I appreciated the finished sample to guide me and the proper attachments necessary to process my Quit Claim Deed. I am gifting it to my nephew as I am too old to run farm and I live in a different state now. I tried other websites but their info was not up to date or accurate. Thank you so much. 71 Y/O Nana.
