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Release of Memorandum of Contract should be recorded to notify third parties that the previously recorded interest is no longer valid.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Code § 15-67-10 (Quiet Title Actions): If a Memorandum of Contract remains recorded even though the contract is no longer valid, it could create a "cloud on title."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

Important: Your property must be located in Fairfield County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

I was not able to use the form after paying for it. The words in red would not let me type over them and I could not get a blank document. Useless.

Each forms package includes a blank form, a guide, and a completed example. The red text appears in the completed example to show how a finished document may look; the blank form is the editable document intended for customer use. Because our products are do-it-yourself legal forms, we canceled the order and payment when it was clear the customer was not able to identify and use the blank form included in the package.
