Questions answered? Let's get started!
In Pennsylvania, a Release of Memorandum and Notice of Agreement is typically used to formally terminate or release a previously recorded Memorandum of Contract (also called a Notice of Agreement). This document is filed with the county recorder's office to clear any claim or cloud on the property title that resulted from the initial memorandum. Here's why and when it should be used:
Why is a Release of Memorandum and Notice of Agreement used?
Clear the Property Title: When a Memorandum of Contract or Notice of Agreement is recorded, it puts the public on notice that a contractual agreement exists regarding a specific piece of property. This can "cloud" the property’s title, making it difficult for the owner to sell or refinance the property. A release removes that cloud.
End a Legal Obligation: If the contract between the buyer and seller (or parties involved in the agreement) is terminated, canceled, or fulfilled, the Memorandum of Contract is no longer relevant, and recording a release ensures that no one can claim that the property is still bound by that agreement.
Avoid Potential Disputes: By recording a release, the parties involved are formally acknowledging that the agreement has been discharged, preventing future disputes regarding the validity or enforceability of the initial contract.
When should a Release of Memorandum and Notice of Agreement be used?
After a Contract is Fulfilled or Closed: If the terms of the original contract (e.g., a real estate purchase agreement) have been fully performed (e.g., the sale has closed), the memorandum is no longer needed, and releasing it ensures the title is clear.
If a Deal Falls Through: If the contract is terminated or canceled before the deal is completed (e.g., the buyer or seller backs out, or there’s a mutual agreement to cancel), a release is necessary to officially reflect that the agreement is no longer in effect.
Upon Request of the Parties: Sometimes, a party may request that the memorandum be released to facilitate a new transaction (e.g., a new buyer is interested, or refinancing is needed), and clearing the title is essential for moving forward.
What Happens If a Release Is Not Filed?
Clouded Title: If a Memorandum of Contract is not released, it can cloud the title, making it difficult or impossible for the property owner to sell or finance the property.
Legal Issues: The existence of a recorded Memorandum can lead to legal disputes or claims that the agreement is still valid, even if the underlying contract has been terminated.
Process to File a Release: Draft the Release of Memorandum: This legal document typically needs to reference the original Memorandum of Contract, including the recording details (Instrument #, etc.).
Signatures: The release should be signed by the appropriate parties (usually both the buyer and seller or other parties to the original agreement).
Notarization: The document should often be notarized before it is filed.
File with County Recorder’s Office: The release is then recorded with the local county recorder’s office where the original Memorandum was filed, clearing the title.
In summary, a Release of Memorandum and Notice of Agreement is used in Pennsylvania to formally remove a previously recorded memorandum from the public record once the associated contract is no longer in effect. It ensures that the property's title is clear, facilitating future transactions and avoiding legal complications.

I could not be happier with the service afforded by Deeds.com. After having been directed to two other organizations who purportedly performed this service and being told they could not accommodate me, I found Deeds.com. The website is extremely easy to use, the directions are clear and concise. The site updated me regularly as the documents were progressing through the process, and the detailing of costs was great. The turn-around -- which isn't completely in the hands of the site -- was incredibly quick. I'd use this group again without reservation. As a person who'd have to otherwise travel almost five hours to record, this has been heaven-sent!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Package downloaded without any problems. Help sheet was fair. Maybe they could cross reference the help number on the help sheet to the form better - somehow. Overall, I was pleased. I was able to download, fill in the blanks and do what edits I thought it needed with ease. Cost was very reasonable. I'll give it a 5.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Deeds.com saved me time and research by offering a beneficiary deed and full instructions for filling it out. My home will now pass directly to my only son without probate. This form and other complimentary forms was an excellent value.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Was looking for information and forms relating to a trust my parents created, but what I purchased seems geared toward trusts containing real estate only, which is not what I needed. Clearly I missed something prior to purchasing something I can not use. Perhaps additional clarification for us without any experience is this area would be helpful.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Review: There are 10 PDFs in this warranty deed package. I don't even know what to do with them all. I don't think the directions are clear enough on how to put it all together. I probably won't use it, and feel I have wasted my money.
Sorry to hear that the volume of documents required to complete your task was more than you anticipated. It is rare that we get complaints about providing everything needed. We certainly don't want you to be overwhelmed or feel like you have wasted your money. Your order and payment has been canceled and we do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

So far so good. It was reasonably easy to download and complete the form using information found in my closing paperwork. I haven't yet had my form notarized but plan to do so this week and submit the packet to my county auditor.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
