Questions answered? Let's get started!

A "Memorandum of Purchase Agreement" commonly referred to as a "Memorandum of Agreement" (MOA), "Memorandum of Contract" (MOC) or "Memorandum of Understanding" (MOU) in the context of real estate, is used primarily as a means to provide public notice of an equitable interest in a real estate transaction without disclosing the full details of the purchase agreement. This document is particularly useful in transactions where the buyer and seller have agreed to terms but the final closing and transfer of the deed have not yet occurred. By recording this memorandum with the county recorder's office, the buyer establishes a public record of their interest in the property, which can protect against subsequent claims or liens by third parties.
Key Purposes of a Memorandum of Purchase Agreement:

1. Protection During the Closing Process: Real estate transactions can involve a lengthy closing process, including financing approval, inspections, and other contingencies. Recording a memorandum helps safeguard the buyer's interest in the property during this period.

2. Confidentiality: In West Virginia, a Memorandum of Land Contract commonly includes a Declaration of Consideration or Value clause because recording the memorandum triggers transfer-tax and assessor reporting obligations, even though legal title does not pass.

Impact on Title: While the memorandum itself does not transfer title, it does create a public record of the buyer’s interest, which can be important in the event of disputes or if the seller attempts to convey the property to another party.

Use with Other Real Estate Transactions: Although commonly associated with purchase agreements, memoranda can also be used with other types of real estate transactions that convey an interest in property, such as land contracts or options to purchase.

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

This Memorandum of Land Contract meets all recording requirements specific to Pleasants County.

Great instructions, samples, ease in getting the form I needed, filling it out as a PDF, and having it ready for a Notary's signature. I was hesitant a first, but glad I paid the fee - now it is done!

Best Way EVER to record a warranty deed! It was nice to not have to drive anywhere and find the facility closed or "unable to process due to covid19 and buildings being closed". The correspondence between me and deeds.com was very timely in our back and forth email correspondence, and the processing was all finished in a timely manner. Totally worth the extra $15 that I paid in addition to the recording fee. I would use this again and again. My time and the efficiency of the job completed is worth the money.
