Questions answered? Let's get started!

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a Release of Memorandum of Contract should be recorded to notify third parties that the previously recorded interest is no longer valid.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Code § 15-67-10 (Quiet Title Actions): If a Memorandum of Contract remains recorded even though the contract is no longer valid, it could create a "cloud on title."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.

This package of documents from Deeds.com has been extremely helpful, particularly for one who has never needed this kind of service before and is unfamiliar with legal documents in general. It is well worth the price; I would recommend this company to anyone needing help with legal documents and information.

This was fantastic. I downloaded the document, filled it out, printed it, had it notarized and drove to the recorders office and had it recorded within less than 15 minutes. Instructions are precise and easy to understand. You saved me hundreds of dollars a lawyer would have charged for the same work.

Great forms - I got several property deeds and really appreciated that they came with the required state forms (for NY). the sample completed form is also really helpful. Attorney wanted hundreds- with this form it is the same amount of work but I can file myself for the cost of lunch!!

I did not like the size of the Warranty Deed form which took 2 pages to print. It should be no larger than 8 1/2 by 14 inches. I did not like that I could not reformat it to be smaller, could not eliminate unused lines, could not delete the excessive 4 signature lines, could not copy or paste into text editor. Very unsatisfactory rating.
