Common Uses of a Wisconsin Memorandum of Contract
1. Protecting the Buyer Without Exposing Deal Terms
This is the #1 reason people use it.
Records the buyer’s equitable interest
Keeps price, interest rate, default terms, and amortization private
Still gives full constructive notice under Wis. Stat. § 706.05 & § 706.08
Perfect for private seller-financed deals.
2. Seller Financing / Installment Sales
If you’re doing:
Land contract
Contract for deed
Seller carryback
Recording the memorandum:
Prevents the seller from reselling or mortgaging behind the buyer
Avoids clouding title with full contract terms
3. Asset Protection & Privacy
Good choice when:
Parties want to avoid broadcasting purchase price
Deal includes non-standard terms
Seller doesn’t want public scrutiny
Common with:
Family transactions
Estate planning transfers
Investor-to-investor deals
4. Recording-Speed or Simplicity Matters
Memorandums:
Are short
Rarely rejected by registers of deeds
Reduce recording errors (no missing pages, initials, riders)
Useful when:
County recording offices are picky
You’re closing remotely or fast
5. Avoiding Transfer Fee Confusion
In Wisconsin:
Recording a memorandum alone does not trigger a transfer fee
Fee is tied to the deed (when issued)
This avoids premature questions at recording.
6. Preserving Flexibility
If the contract might:
Be amended
Be assigned
Be refinanced later
A memorandum lets you:
Amend the private contract without re-recording sensitive terms
Record a simple Amended Memorandum if needed
Important: Your property must be located in Rock County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.
This Memorandum of Contract meets all recording requirements specific to Rock County.

I filled out the Kansas form and presented it to the Clerk of Deeds in Rawlins Co and there were no problems and no expensive attorney involved for a simple transaction.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

Thank you, Deed.com provided the needed forms to change county and state information after the passing of my father, saved me a trip to law office, especially after the lawyers would not return my calls, so I would recommend you check Deed.com for information, saved my family money for lawyer fees, would use Deed.com again.

Great website. average person needs to care of stuff like this, and presented in a simple direct way. was easy to do. Like best: the sample sheet really made me secure i was doing everything in the right way. My only issue was finding the website. Keep up the good We work. Need more common legal information like this.
Thank you for the kind words, Bruno. We’re glad the sample sheet helped make the process clear and gave you confidence while preparing your documents.

I had a great experience using Deeds.com to file my legal document. The whole process was simple and easy to follow. The website walks you through each step, and everything is explained clearly. At one point, I had to resubmit my documents, but even that was quick and easy. There were clear instructions, and I had no trouble making the changes and sending them again. The communication was great too. I was kept updated the whole time, and any questions I had were answered fast. If you need to file legal documents and want a stress-free way to do it, I definitely recommend Deeds.com. They made the whole process smooth from start to finish.
Thank you, Liliana! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're glad everything went smoothly and that our team could support you when needed. It means a lot to know you'd recommend us!
