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 Rusk County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.
This Memorandum of Contract meets all recording requirements specific to Rusk County.

I gave your site and forms 5 stars because it is very easy to use and included all the information needed to complete the form without having had a legal background.
Thank you Randy. Have a great day!

The forms are extremely helpful. They could use some updating. Promissory note "...in the form of cash, check or money order." is a bit outdated. My note is with my son and we have an automatic bank transfer set up for payments. He could Venmo me. There are many other options and likely to be more changes in the future, so I know this is difficult to maintain.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

When I found this website, I was confused and hesitant to use this website to submit paperwork that needed to be submitted to the Clerks of Courts in Miami. I am glad I decided to go through with it. It was the easiest process I have encountered even with working with the City. Highly recommend as it is super easy to use and received that everything was approved and recorded in two working days. Thank you so much for bringing my stress level lower as many uncertainties of how to process my paperwork. Will use it again to finish my project as the City continues to not accept walk ins. Thank you so much.
So glad we were able help Jose, have a amazing day!

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.

Dennis E. 5 out of 5 stars
Easy to complete form. Examples were very helpful in using correct verbiage for form. Also way less expensive than the $500 an attorney wanted to charge me for doing the very same thing!!!
Thanks Dennis, we appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback.
Karelia W. 5 out of 5 stars
Was a bit skeptical because I'd never heard of it, but just got something submitted and confirmed recorded in less than 24 hrs. UI could use some work but other than that, straightforward and works!
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
Alan M. 4 out of 5 stars
The packet I downloaded was complete and useful, and process was not unduly opaque. However, I would have liked to download the whole packet, about 6 files, all at one go. Still, the forms provided the complete solution to my situation.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
