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.

Could not be happier with the deeds here. Long time customer and never had a problem, they always have the right documents for what I need.
Thank you for the kind words Kerry. Have a great day!

These products would be more useful if they final deed could be copied and pasted into a word document for proper formatting. Because most of the document is protected against selecting and copying, I did not find it useful. I would not purchase again.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Was insecure about being able to access the information but pleasantly found that the site was easy to use. Seems that I can use it repeatedly to go back and reprint the forms once I paid.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I purchased the La St. Tammany Parish Quit Claim Deed as a gift for a friend. Currently waiting on a lawyer to draft his second version of what a La Quit Claim should look like. I have downloaded this St. Tammany La packet for simplicity and double protection for my friend. So far, I really like what I see from Deeds.com, short and to the point. It's truly a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much. Layperson Cathy for a friend.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Fairly easy to use. I had to really search to get some info. I had to use the Exhibit feature because the description box was way too small and I ended up re-typing it. The package had good and useful links. The County Clerk looked at it and said, "I see you used an online form, and that's OK, but..." and proceeded to show me a couple of things that were left out. They recorded it with no problems.
Thank you!

The form was useful, however the formatting is terrible once completed. A lot of white space with no option to remove extra spacing or to improve the overall formatting.
Thank you for your feedback, Heidi. We’re glad to hear the form itself was useful. We also understand your concern about the formatting and extra spacing once completed. Our forms are designed to meet strict county recording requirements, which can sometimes result in additional white space. That said, we’re always working to improve usability and presentation without compromising acceptance. Your input helps us identify where refinements are possible, and we’ll keep it in mind as we continue updating our templates.

I thought the forms were reasonably priced, the instructions included in the packet were thorough, and the examples helpful. Thank you for the additional CDR forms too. I contacted the Recorder's office via email with a question and Jennifer Bowser answered promptly. Job well done! However, when I delivered the deed and Real Property Transfer Declaration to the Clerk's office in Lafayette, the clerk was unfamiliar with the Declaration document being submitted and it took some time to convince her to submit the form without charging the recording fee. She even tried to phone the recorder's office for clarification, but no one answered. There then was an additional form at that office that I had to complete called Recording Request/Transmittal Form. I would suggest including that form with instructions in your on-line packet to speed up the process when a Deed is delivered to the County Clerk's satellite office. I do not expect every clerk to know all the particulars of recording requirements but a little knowledge wouldn't hurt.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The State form I chose was valid and accurate. However, I found the ability to enter information was inadequate and difficult. Converted the form to a Word document and was then able to enter the information I needed to.
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

The experience was generally very satisfactory. I was able to fill out the Trust Deed and send it via email no problem. However, I was not able to send the filled out form of the Note. It always erased my fill-ins when it was sent. I found that very frustrating.
Thank you, Gordon. Glad the Trust Deed worked well. Issues like the one you reported with the Note can sometimes be related to how the file is opened or sent. Using Adobe Reader to fill, save, and send the form is recommended. We also pass along all feedback like this to our team to confirm there are no issues.

Your Quitdeed form was easy to understand with the guidelines provided and an example of an already completed form to see how you should complete your form. The price is reasonable for a do it yourself.
Thank you, Deabra. We’re glad the form and examples made the process clear and that you found it a good value for a do-it-yourself option.

Wonderful forms. It's nice that they were formatted perfectly for my county, it's real easy to miss a requirement (margines, font size, and so on) and end up with a rejection or higher recording fee. Good job folks!
Thank you!
