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 Providence County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

The boxes do not allow you to add the entire information. The after recording return to box would not let me add a zipcode.
Thanks for the feedback Rhonda, we’ll take a look at that input field.
