Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Memorandum of Contract acts as a public notice of a land contract, contract for deed, or other buy-sell purchase agreement affecting real estate, without revealing all the contract terms. This document ensures that the essential details of the agreement are on record while maintaining confidentiality of the complete terms. A recorded Memorandum of Contract, can secure the parties interests in the subject property and provide notice to potential buyers or creditors, safeguarding against any future disputes regarding the property's title.

In South Carolina, the recording of such documents is governed by the South Carolina Code of Laws, Title 30 - Public Records, Chapter 5
Recording Generally. Although the statutes do not specifically mention a "Memorandum of Contract," they outline the requirements for recording any documents that impact the title to real property. These guidelines help protect the interests of all parties involved by ensuring transparency and proper documentation in real estate transactions.

My experience could not have been better. Easy to communicate with, even though I'm largely ignorant of technical problem-solving. I may be addle-minded with 83 years on earth, but I think they actually cared about solving my problem and were sorry it was beyond their territory. Truly extra nice.

Thank you so much for providing simple but very significant documents one can basically do PRO SE, without any additional huge counsel expenses and yet be legitimate enough to officially file them as state law allows and extends to basic documents processing and filings. Thank you so much for the professional documents provided as they do the proper job. MP

Convenient yes, expensive "big YES" and with what I paid to record a lien it cost me close to $50. That seems quite exorbitant in my estimation!!
