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 Once the underlying contract is satisfied, terminated, or otherwise no longer in effect, it is essential to release the memorandum of record.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 The memorandum was recorded in error or relates to an offer that has been withdrawn.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 wanted to do an Enhancement Life Quitclaim deed and the county government lady didn’t know what I was even talking about. I ordered the deed from Deeds.com and filled it all in,submitted to the county clerk who took 10 minutes to study it before she accepted the deed. This was the easiest transaction I’ve ever made! I actually felt smarter than the clerk who worked at the count office over 20 years.

The boxes do not allow you to add the entire information. The after recording return to box would not let me add a zipcode.

Thanks for the feedback Rhonda, we’ll take a look at that input field.
