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Release of Memorandum of Contract should be recorded to notify third parties that the previously recorded interest is no longer valid.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Code § 15-67-10 (Quiet Title Actions): If a Memorandum of Contract remains recorded even though the contract is no longer valid, it could create a "cloud on title."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

AMAZING! Easy to use, reasonable fee - and get MUCH MORE than just a deed form. I ordered a "deed" and received a whole "package," including a guide and the jurisdiction's costs schedule and cover page that would be needed to record the deed - even included a Certificate of Transfer that is not required for a deed but something I needed for a different transaction. The website was extremely easy to use and the cautions about not disclosing personal information were so clear and personal, they made me feel secure in knowing this site was not trying to rip me off. Very professional. Well done.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

My experience so far is quite good. Useful documents. It would be very helpful if the labels on the files downloaded were in text format, like "Jurat" rather than "1429107022SF21141." It would save me the extra step of providing proper file names.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
