Questions answered? Let's get started!
In Ohio, a Full Release of Memorandum and Notice of Agreement (typically referring to a land contract or real estate contract) should be recorded when the underlying agreement is terminated, satisfied, or no longer enforceable. This ensures clear title and protects future buyers, lenders, and owners.
________________________________________
When to Record a Full Release of Memorandum
You should record the release when:
1. The Land Contract or Agreement Has Been Fully Performed
• The buyer has completed all installment payments under a land contract.
• Title has been (or will be) transferred by deed.
• The contract is no longer needed as evidence of equitable interest.
2. The Contract Has Been Terminated or Canceled
• If either party lawfully terminates the agreement (e.g., buyer default, mutual rescission).
• This includes forfeiture proceedings or cancellation by mutual release.
3. To Clear Cloud on Title
• A recorded Memorandum and Notice of Agreement creates a public notice of a party’s interest.
• If that interest no longer exists, failing to release it can cloud title and prevent sale or refinancing.
________________________________________
Why Recording Is Important
Reason Explanation
Clear chain of title Prevents confusion over current ownership and interest.
Protects future buyers/lenders Shows the agreement is no longer in effect, reducing risk.
Complies with title company requirements Needed for issuing clear title insurance.
Avoids potential litigation Prevents claims of continuing interest or disputes.

Legal Background
In Ohio, there's no statute that specifically requires a release of a memorandum — but once a memorandum is recorded (under R.C. § 5301.25), it becomes constructive notice of the agreement. If the agreement ends, releasing that memorandum is strongly recommended to:
• Avoid misleading third parties
• Ensure a clean public record

From Pennsylvania here. Documents are great and easy to fill out however you are lacking a couple of things. You only provide the option for a Grant Deed when you purchase by your county which is Mercer County for me. Why not give the ability to get a Warranty Deed that better protects the Grantee? Also, being from Pennsylvania and in a county that mined Buituminous Coal we are required to include the Coal Severance Notice and Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act Notice. You can check the box on your Deed form that they are required and attached but you do not provide the verbiage or form for this. You state that you know what each county requires and include everything required but you do not include these two required Notices. This has been a requirement for years and the wording never changes. I had to look for these Notices and hand type this information and include it on another seperate page after the Notary section on the Deed. The Grantor has to sign the Coal Severance Notice and be witnessed by a Notary so I had to add another place for the Notary and will have to pay twice for witnessed signatures when it could have been included in your document. My Deed from 2003 was done that way and then the Notary statement after that so it was only one notarized witness of signature.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

My first submission was super quick and easy. I had trouble with the second submission, as I was not aware of what the county would require, but the team at Deeds.com walked me through every step of the process. Will definitely use again and refer business partners to Deeds.com!
Thank you, Jason! We’re glad your first submission went smoothly and appreciate your patience with the second. County requirements can vary, and we’re always here to help make the process as simple as possible. We look forward to assisting you — and your business partners — again soon!

It would be helpful if the numbers on the instruction sheet were on the form. I was confused on page two if the signatures were for witnesses or buyer (grantee). I do like the form and will use it in the future. Also page one Grantee's signature only has one line and if there are two buyers need another line.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Glad to have all of the helpful extra information, even though they don't answer all questions for all situations. So, I accessed public records and asked questions at the auditor's office. Also, on my Mac computer, filling out the actual deed form is a challenge because the screen jumps to the last page everytime I try to type a few letters or hit the return key, so I'm rollling back up to the first 2 pages after most keystrokes. A bit annoying. Overall, happy to have these form options are available! There is really no need to wait and pay for an attorney when all the information needed is available via public records. Fill in the blanks!
Thanks so much for the feedback Teri. There are known issues between Adobe and Mac, we try to work around them as much as possible. Have a wonderful day!

I used deeds.com to complete a gift deed for transferring a house to our son. Finding the correct form and completing it correctly was extremely easy due to wonderful explanations and examples provided with the purchase of the form. The registrar filing the deed told me she was impressed with the work we did. An attorney would have charged $150 so the $28.00 was well worth the money.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It all started out well, then I was abruptly told that I would have to submit the documents directly to the recording office. No explanation was offered and I wasted a lot of time on your website for nothing. Very disappointing, as the concept of e-recording is what is needed in 2026.
We reviewed your order and our support messages. The document uploaded for recording was a very low-quality scan that did not meet the county’s eRecording image requirements. Our staff asked that a clearer scan be uploaded, but the same image was submitted again.
Because the document could not be processed electronically, we advised recording it directly with the county recorder’s office.
E-recording systems require clear, legible document images that meet county standards. When those requirements cannot be met, recording directly with the recorder is often the fastest option.
