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 county recording office listed above.

They respond fast, the process is simple, and it's obviously convenient. I'm not sure what else there is to say, other than it's I would say a reasonable fee to pay them to do it.

Dawn L. 5 out of 5 stars
Not totally satisfied as unable to edit as needed on signature page of the deed. I want to be able to date the document and don't want the verbage "signed, sealed and delivered in the presence of" to appear and cannot remove it. The notary will make his or her own statement below as to the date executed.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
