Questions answered? Let's get started!

When a Memorandum of Land Contract should Be Released in WV
1. The Land Contract Has Fully Closed
-Deed has been delivered and recorded
-Purchase price paid in full
-Contract merged into the deed
a. Release immediately after deed recording

2. The Land Contract Is Terminated or Canceled
Examples:
-Mutual written termination
-Buyer default and contract termination
-Seller forfeiture (if allowed by contract)
a. Release as soon as termination is effective Leaving it of record after termination improperly clouds title.

3. The Contract Has Expired by Its Own Terms
-Option period ended
-Time-limited contract expired without closing
a. Release once expiration occurs

4. A Replacement Instrument Has Been -Recorded
-Deed in lieu
-Assignment or novation that supersedes the original contract
a. Release original memorandum

5. Upon Written Demand by Seller or Title Company
-WV recognizes that unreleased memoranda can create a false cloud on title
-Title insurers routinely require a release before closing any later transaction
a. Release promptly to avoid title objections

When a Memorandum SHOULD NOT Be Released
-While the contract is still active
-Before buyer’s equitable interest ends
-Without authority (unless unilateral release rights exist)

Who Can Execute the Release in WV?
a. Best Practice
Both parties (Buyer & Seller)
b. Commonly Accepted
Buyer alone (the party who benefited from the memorandum)
c. Also Accepted (if contract allows) Seller alone, if:
Contract authorizes unilateral release upon default/termination
-Affidavit of termination or forfeiture is recorded
-WV clerks typically accept any of the above if the release is properly executed and notarized.
-Practical Title-Company Rule (What Actually Matters)
-If the memorandum no longer reflects a current property interest, it should not remain of record.

Failing to release:
-Clouds title
-Delays refinancing or resale
-triggers title underwriting exceptions

(WV-Specific): Release promptly upon payoff, termination, or expiration
Instrument number alone is sufficient
No statute mandates timing, but delay creates title risk
title companies expect release before any new conveyance

This service is excellent. I submitted a Quickclaim Deed so my home would be in the name of a Living Trust I had just created. This was my first attempted at any of this and the staff person, KVH, who reviewed my Deed was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had and to make sure the Deed had the correct information before submittal to the county for recording. I started the process one afternoon and by the next day, the Deed was submitted to, and recorded in, my county. I will use them again whenever needed.
