Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Memorandum of Installment Land Contract 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 Once the underlying contract is satisfied, terminated, or otherwise no longer in effect, it is essential to release the memorandum of record.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 in Tennessee

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 The memorandum was recorded in error or relates to an offer that has been withdrawn.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 Tennessee only.

Important: Your property must be located in Dekalb County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

It was easy to download the form I wanted BUT there were 2 other options listed for "open/download." I didn't want to risk more charges for something I couldn't determine I needed so I passed them up. There were a few others listed with the option to "view" so I did that, without down-loading, and there were no additional charges. I would've liked that opportunity for 2 others that didn't offer "view" so maybe deeds.com missed a sale?

I thought this form was great and easy to complete but the instructions were unclear as to whether the grantee- beneficiaries needed to sign and notarize their signatures as well. It did not appear to be the case but it would be helpful if the instructions spelled this out better.
