Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Memorandum of Contract for Deed is used in Oklahoma (and many other states) as a public notice of a buyer’s interest in property without putting the full contract in the public record.
Here’s the breakdown:
1. Purpose – “Notice Without Full Disclosure”
A Contract for Deed (a.k.a. land contract or installment sale) is usually many pages long, full of payment terms, interest rates, default clauses, etc.

If you recorded the full contract, all those details would become public record.

A memorandum is a short, 1–2 page document summarizing key facts needed to give constructive notice in the county records — without revealing the private financial terms.

2. What it typically contains
A Memorandum of Contract for Deed usually states:
The names of seller and buyer
Date of the contract
Legal description of the property
Statement that a Contract for Deed exists
The principal amount secured (for mortgage tax purposes)
Signatures and notary acknowledgment

3. Why it’s used instead of the full contract
A. Privacy
Keeps sensitive details — like interest rates, payment schedules, or personal info — out of public records.

B. Recording efficiency
County clerks charge per page. A 2-page memorandum costs less to record than a 15-page contract.

C. Legal protection
Once recorded, the memorandum gives constructive notice to the world of the buyer’s equitable interest.
This protects the buyer from later claims by third parties, like new lenders or purchasers from the seller, because they are deemed to have notice of the buyer’s rights.

D. Statutory compliance In Oklahoma, the Real Estate Contract Act requires certain installment sales (including many Contracts for Deed) to be recorded within 30 days of execution.
Recording a memorandum satisfies this requirement if it contains the necessary info.

1. Oklahoma treats many contracts like mortgages for tax purposes
Under 68 O.S. § 1901 et seq., if a Contract for Deed, Lease-Purchase, or similar agreement gives the buyer equitable title and secures payment over time, it is treated like a mortgage when recorded.
• That means the County Clerk must collect mortgage tax based on the principal amount financed before recording.
• Even if you’re only recording a memorandum (not the full contract), the tax still applies.

2. The clerk can’t process without the amount financed
A memorandum usually says:
“…memorandum of that certain Contract for Deed dated ___, between Seller and Buyer…”
If it doesn’t list the principal amount secured, the clerk has no basis to calculate the tax.
• Without that number, they’ll reject the filing or require a Mortgage Tax Information Statement to be attached.

3. Avoids overpayment or underpayment
If the amount is missing, someone might mistakenly use the purchase price instead of the loan amount.
• Overpayment = wasted money
• Underpayment = filing isn’t perfected until the tax is corrected, which can weaken the notice in the public record.

I love deeds.com - hands down, the quickest way to record a warranty deed. The process and communication is so quick - the recording transaction too. Worth the extra $20 to me for my time! I didn't spend over an hour driving around, talking to someone via a kiosk to record the deed, didn't have to spend the energy of loading kids into the car to come with me, etc. The efficiency and timely process is worth the cost! Love having this available! The whole process via deeds.com took less than 5 minutes to upload a document and less than 3 minutes to pay the invoice shortly thereafter. The final recording was in my inbox in less than an hour. Thank you!

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

Ultimately, it directed me to the wrong form. Not very helpful. I had to turn to a title company to get my issue addressed.

Was a bit difficult to navigate. I feel a fee to access the site and a fee to print is a bit much. I am in the real estate business and find the deeds very useful

Get Rid of the places to initial each page on the Trust Deed. The Co. Recorder (Davis) does not require that each page be initialled... If I and the "borrower" had initialed each page, then I would have to use US Mail to get the form from AZ to UT because scans of initials are not acceptable, but only a notarized signature from the borrower is...

I would absolutely use this service again. It was very convenient and I was pleasantly surprised at how responsive the staff was letting me know updates to my recording package. Also, my documents recorded immediately. I did have trouble uploading my document in the beginning because I didn't realize it had to be a pdf file. Once I figured that out, it was immediately accepted. Great service!
