A Rhode Island Memorandum of Purchase and Sale Agreement is a document that once recorded in the land records provides public notice of an existing purchase and sale agreement for real property without disclosing sensitive details like price or contingencies.
Purpose:
• Protects Buyer’s Interest: Notifies third parties (e.g., lenders, potential buyers) of the buyer’s contractual rights, preventing the seller from selling or encumbering the property.
• Privacy: Keeps the full purchase and sale agreement’s terms confidential.
• Facilitates Financing: Provides proof of a contract for lenders or title companies.
Common Scenarios:
• Delayed Closings: Used when closing is postponed (e.g., awaiting zoning, environmental approvals, or permits), common in commercial or development deals.
• Seller-Financed Sales/Purchase and Sales Agreements: Secures the buyer’s interest during installment payments before deed transfer.
• Option Agreements: Notifies others of a buyer’s option or right of first refusal.
• Investment Transactions: Protects the buyer’s stake before full payment or improvements.
Key Features
• Legal Authority: Recordable under R.I. Gen. Laws §34-13-1 and §34-13-2 as an instrument affecting title.
• Requirements: Must be written, signed, notarized, and include a property description. Recorded at the city/town clerk’s office.
• Limitations: Does not transfer title, create a lien, or trigger conveyance tax/residency affidavits.
• For use in Rhode Island only.
Important: Your property must be located in Newport County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.
