Questions answered? Let's get started!
A Memorandum of Land Sale Contract in Oregon is authorized under ORS 93.710, which permits recording a memorandum in place of the full contract.
It gives constructive notice under ORS 93.640 of the buyer’s equitable interest in the property. By extension, when a contract ends, a release or satisfaction document must also be recorded to clear the chain of title.
Each county recorder requires a properly executed “Release of Memorandum of Land Sale Contract” (or similarly titled document).
Common Reasons for Recording a Release
1. Full Performance / Satisfaction
The buyer has completed all obligations under the land sale contract (typically full payment of the purchase price).
Recording the release clears title and shows that the buyer now holds the property free of the seller’s contractual claim.
2. Mutual Termination / Rescission
Both parties agree to cancel the contract.
A release ensures that the recorded memorandum no longer clouds title, allowing the seller to convey to another party.
3. Forfeiture or Default
If the buyer defaults and the seller declares forfeiture (per contract and ORS Chapter 93 / Chapter 18 procedures), the memorandum is released to restore seller’s clear title.
4. Substitution / Replacement Contract
If the parties replace the original contract with a new land sale contract or refinance, the old memorandum may be released so only the valid encumbrance remains of record.
5. Quiet Title / Court Order
If there is litigation (e.g., a dispute over performance, fraud, or mistake), the court may order the release to remove a cloud on title.
Statutory Basis
ORS 93.640(1) – requires recording of instruments affecting title.
ORS 93.285 to 93.300 – govern recording of land sale contracts and memoranda.
ORS 93.210 – establishes duty to release instruments upon satisfaction (applies to mortgages, trust deeds, and by analogy to memoranda when obligations are fulfilled).
Why Recording is Critical
A recorded memorandum clouds the title, and title companies will not insure future sales or refinancing until it is released.
Recording the release protects both buyer and seller by creating a public record that the contractual interest has ended.

Document was well formatted with the extra help of an example and useful instructions. I ended up with a better warranty deed than I was getting on another website. Worth the small price.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

First, I am glad that you gave a blank copy, an example copy, and a 'guide'. It made it much easier to do. Overall I was very happy with your products and organization... however, things got pretty confusing and I have a pretty 'serious' law background in Real Estate and Civil law. With that said, I spent about 10+ hours getting my work done, using the Deed of Trust and Promissory note from you and there were a few problems: First, it would be FANTASTIC if you actually aligned your guide to actually match the Deed or Promissory Note. What I mean is that if the Deed says 'section (E)' then your guide shouldn't be 'randomly' numbered as 1,2,3, for advice/instructions, but should EXACTLY match 'section (E)'. Some places you have to 'hunt' for what you are looking for, and if you did it based on my suggestion, you wouldn't need to 'hunt' and it would avoid confusion. 2nd: This one really 'hurt'... you had something called the 'Deed of Trust Master Form' yet you had basically no information on what it was or how to use it. The only information you had was a small section at the top of the 'Short Form Deed of Trust Guide'. Holy Cow, was that 'section' super confusing. I still don't know if I did it correctly, but your guide says only put a return address on it and leave the rest of the 16 or so page Deed of Trust beneath it blank... and then include your 'Deed of Trust' (I had to assume the short form deed that I had just created) as part of it. I had to assume that I had to print off the entire 17 page or so title page and blank deed. I also had to assume that the promissory note was supposed to be EXHIBIT A or B on the Short Form Deed. It would be great if someone would take a serious look at that short section in your 'Short Form Deed of Trust Guide' and realize that those of us using your products are seriously turning this into a county clerk to file and that most of us, probably already have a property that has an existing Deed... or at least can find one in the county records if necessary... and make sure that you make a distinction between the Deed for the property that already exists, versus the Deed of Trust and Promissory note that we are trying to file. Thanks.
Thank you for your feedback. We'll have staff review the document for clarity. Have a great day!

I found the process of downloading and completing the documents very user friendly. Thank you for the Declare Value instructions. It was easy to follow, though a sample of the declaration form would be very useful. I didn't know how to list my "capacity" so I left it blank so the recorder could advise me. Otherwise, thank you so much for being available for people who are capable of completing simple legal tasks without the expense of a lawyer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Your appreciative words mean the world to us. Thank you.
