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 Washington County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

Responsive and honest. They were unable to obtain records for me, no fault of theirs, and immediately let me know and credited my account. I give Deeds dot com five stars and would come back. Thank you.

The template isn't that easy to work with, with you have to type out large amounts of text. Also copy and paste doesn't seem to work. Furthermore, the code listed on the guide is out of date. However, the DQC is decent in that it has all the required fields you need.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

After a little glitch due to heavy volume at the County Recorder, my document was recorded. County Recorder was closed to public access at the office (due to the coronavirus issues) so all documents were either mailed to them or sent in electronically. Deeds.com was very efficient at their end with very quick responses to my questions and concerns. I would definitely use their services again.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
