In South Carolina, a Memorandum of Contract is a document that provides notice of a real estate agreement, typically a purchase or sale contract, without disclosing all of the contract details. This document is often recorded to protect the interests of the parties involved, particularly the buyer, by giving public notice that a contract exists concerning a specific property. The Release of Memorandum of Contract is a document used to formally end or release the claims of the Memorandum when the contract has been terminated, fulfilled, or no longer applies.
Here are the laws, codes, and statutes that guide why a Release of Memorandum of Contract should be recorded in South Carolina:
1. Notice to Third Parties
South Carolina Code § 30-7-10 (Notice of real estate interests): This statute explains that recording certain documents (such as deeds or contracts) provides notice to third parties regarding property interests. Recording a Memorandum of Contract serves as notice that a binding agreement is in place regarding a particular property.
Once the underlying contract is fulfilled or terminated, a Release of Memorandum of Contract should be recorded to notify third parties that the previously recorded interest is no longer valid. Failure to record such a release could lead to confusion or disputes if third parties believe the contract is still in effect.
2. Cloud on Title
South Carolina Code § 15-67-10 (Quiet Title Actions): If a Memorandum of Contract remains recorded even though the contract is no longer valid, it could create a "cloud on title." This is an issue that could affect the marketability of the property. Recording a Release of Memorandum of Contract helps clear the title and removes any potential encumbrances caused by the existence of the previously recorded document.
3. Good Faith and Fair Dealing
Under common law principles and South Carolina Code Title 36, Chapter 2 (Uniform Commercial Code), parties to a contract are expected to act in good faith. This includes the duty to clear records once the obligations have been fulfilled. Recording a Release of Memorandum of Contract is consistent with this duty, ensuring that no further claims or encumbrances are improperly held against the property.
4. Protection Against Fraud
The act of recording a Release of Memorandum of Contract helps protect all parties, including future purchasers, lenders, or other interested parties, from potential fraud. By formally releasing the memorandum, it prevents a party from falsely asserting ongoing rights or claims to the property. South Carolina law emphasizes the importance of clear, accurate public records to prevent fraudulent claims.
5. Preventing Litigation
Recording a Release of Memorandum of Contract can also prevent future litigation. If the Memorandum is not released, there may be disputes or lawsuits regarding whether the contract is still in effect, especially if a new buyer or lender is involved. Recording the release eliminates ambiguity and the possibility of legal disputes over the status of the contract.

The documents themselves are fine and the information provided with them is helpful. I find the actual processing of the documents, however, to be difficult particularly once the document has been saved. First, I note that the box for the date only allows entry of the last 2 digits of the year. Unfortunately, my download only allows me to enter one of the 2 digits required. When I delete it repeatedly, it eventually allows both digits to be entered but puts them in extremely small text and in superscrypt. I have not found a solution to this problem and am not sure the deed can even be recorded with this problem. Another problem is that if you try to revise the document after you have saved it the curser goes to the end of the line after each key entry. This means that there basically is no way to efficiently save the document for reworking later since you will have to delete everything you have entered in the text box unless you only need to make a single keystroke change or are willing to replace the curser after each entry. Try that with a long property description! Please note that I am using a Mac to prepare my documents and perhaps this is part of an "incompatibility problem". However, I didn't see a disclaimer regarding Mac use and so would expect the documents to perform correctly. Overall, I give the program a "2 star" rating because I am experiencing significant difficulties in entering dates in the documents even before saving them and because saving your work for later revision appears to be basically unworkable.
Thank you for your feedback Thomas, we appreciate you being specific about the issues you encountered. Adobe and Mac have a fairly long history of issues working together.

Could not give me any deed history prior to 1986, when our company bought the property, so this was a bust.
Thank you for your feedback April. Have a great day.

Response time was fantastic. I had no idea it would be so quick. I would definitely use again. They send you a message if they need additional information, etc. I would rate them a 10+ on a 1-10 scale
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The information and instructions provided is thorough and great. But, the fill-in-the-blanks form does not work well and is very frustrating. The font size of the information I was adding on each individual line varies and is determined by the number of characters entered on that individual line. So the font size is different on each line. And the number of lines is fixed making it impossible to fill in the full legal name of the trust I needed to fill out the form for. My needs are somewhat unusual, but the form should have been designed to be flexible enough to handle it. A blank paper form would have been more useful.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I was very glad to have this option for filing a form as it would have taken 4 days due to offices being closed to the public during the COVID 19 epidemic. I found the process to be fairly simple and I was able to file the document within 24 hours.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
