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.

This does the job but we are not able to save this in our account and if you don't pay for Adobe and only have Adobe reader, I cannot save any information on the form online in my account. I do understand why they do this because they would lose money. A huge issue is that when I got to the end of the document and was adding an Exhibit A, as I typed, the page kept jumping back up the to top and I couldn't see what I was typing. I had to type a little then scroll back down and when I would type more, it would jump up again. This was a real problem.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Most people coming to this sight will not have the knowledge for deeds. Therefore, I wish there were more instructions on when the Grantor signs and when the Grantee signs and the process steps to making the transaction final. I would give it 4 out of 5 starts
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Therefore, we have taken immediate action and canceled your order as well as processed the refund for your payment. Have a wonderful day.

I purchased the Affidavit of Surviving Joint Tenant document and found the whole package of documents to be useful and practical. Successfully recorded!!! While the fillable PDF files are good enough, I personally prefer a Word document as it is easier to modify font or spacing.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Easy and convenient. Was nice to have just a one time charge without a so-called anual fee/membership. Will use again if needed. May update review after "all is said and done."
Thank you!

It would be helpful if the numbers on the instruction sheet were on the form. I was confused on page two if the signatures were for witnesses or buyer (grantee). I do like the form and will use it in the future. Also page one Grantee's signature only has one line and if there are two buyers need another line.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
