Questions answered? Let's get started!
A Memorandum of Contract for Deed is typically recorded to provide public notice of a buyer’s equitable interest in real property under an installment sale arrangement. Once the underlying contract is satisfied, terminated, or otherwise no longer in effect, it is essential to release the memorandum of record.
Common reasons to release a Memorandum of Contract for Deed in South Dakota:
1. The contract has been fully performed, and the deed has been delivered and recorded.
2. The contract has expired without full performance.
3. The contract has been canceled or terminated, whether by mutual agreement or default.
4. The memorandum was recorded in error or relates to an offer that has been withdrawn.
Why release is required:
Failure to record a release may result in a “cloud on title,” hindering the seller or buyer from subsequently selling, refinancing, or insuring the property, as the memorandum constitutes a recorded claim against the property.
For use in South Dakota only.

I am a lawyer and purchased a specialized type of deed for a special scenario. The product received was functional, but not great. Wording is slightly clunky and the form layout was not convenient for making a professional final product. The wording also didn't contemplate a remote-state probate, which is a common scenario. Something about the PDF prevented me from doing cut and paste, so I had to do OCR to get the relevant text for inserting in my existing draft deed. Finally, while the site claims it is customized for the exact state and county, it does not appear to be well-customized for that purpose and I had to use other language (not sourced from the deeds.com document) to meet local norms.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I ended up loading the same file twice and was unable to delete one of them. I did send e request in to have one deleted and I did get a response back that only one file was processed. This was done in a timely manner but required more additional time. It would have been nice to be able to delete the file myself and finish the process at the same time. Other than this every thing did go very well. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
