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.

I was needing some forms from another state. I am a lawyer but don't have ready access to out of state forms. I was impressed with how thorough the intake process was. Very nice that I could download the form in Word so that I could adjust a few things. Very fine service. I recommend.
Thank you!

The site is a good idea, however, I couldn't find what I needed with just the address alone. I was looking to get the name of a former landlord, as I can't remember it.
Thank you!
