Questions answered? Let's get started!
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

The e-recording service was invaluable. This was my first experience recording a document in any capacity. The feedback I received was useful, concise, and presented kindly. I cannot imagine having to try to record by mail, or without the guidance that was provided to me.
We are delighted to have been of service. Thank you for the positive review!

The transfer deed documents are laid out the way county offices need, but I don't like the requirements so I'm going to leave a bad review.
Well, thanks we guess.

I'm very impressed. We're a small nonprofit, and we usually walk our documents into our county offices for recording. So I was a little bit skeptical about how things would work if we did it electronically. But it was a smooth, quick, painless, and reasonably priced process. I expect that this will be our preferred method even after county offices re-open.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Our firm is working remotely and a lot of court services are limited with the corona-virus shutdowns, but we needed to record a Deed at the last minute. There was no other way we'd could get it done that quick without Deeds.com (staff) helped us work out some kinks and we got it recorded in less than 1 business day! Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it. Glad we could help.

This was a seamless process. It probably took one minute to fill out my information and upload the document. It was formatted and sent immediately. It was processed the next day at the county recorders office. I have zero complaints. Before finding this company I spent an entire day calling and leaving messages at other e-filing companies like simplfile and others but they all required subscriptions. I just needed to file a single document now and then so that was not a good fit. (And those companies I found out still require the customer to do all the work!). Deeds.com kept me informed throughout the process every step. I'm happy to write this review. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
