A Release of Memorandum of Contract (or Release of Memorandum of Purchase Agreement) can be executed by Buyers and Sellers and is typically executed by the seller to formally cancel or release the notice of a purchase agreement that has been recorded in the public records. Here are the key reasons why a seller should execute a Release of Memorandum of Contract:

1. Clearing Title for Future Sales When a Memorandum of Purchase Agreement is recorded in the public records, it creates a cloud on the title, which could prevent the seller from selling the property to another buyer or refinancing it. If the original purchase agreement is terminated (due to failure to close, breach of contract, or mutual cancellation), executing a release is necessary to remove any claims or encumbrances tied to that agreement. Without a release, the public record would still show that the property is under contract, potentially causing future buyers or title companies to hesitate in moving forward with another sale.

2. Preventing Future Legal Disputes Failing to execute a release of the memorandum could lead to legal disputes if a buyer claims they still have an interest in the property. By executing a release, the seller clearly indicates that the previous agreement has been canceled or fulfilled, preventing any future claims by the buyer under that contract. Often the buyer requests a release when the subject contract is fulfilled, allowing them to refinance or sell.

The pdf form is good; however, the input boxes merge into the line above so the text is hard to read when complete. I added a return before entering my data and this solved the problem.

Thank you for your feedback Cathleen. We will have staff take a look at the document for issues with the text fields. Have a great day!

Excellent - no reservations. I used them on a Sunday and had my info on Monday. Not only did they execute the order flawlessly, the fixed my screw up* immediately. *I hit refresh before the "secured" page transmitted, so I created (2) two orders of the same item.

The product I purchased looks great and I added Adobe to be able to copy it, but for some reason I can't,so I will delete Adobe and then try again to copy what i paid for. I have all the PDFS' and my computer and printer are fairly new (windows 10),I should have tried to copy it first, I'll get it!
Thanks

I tried to do it myself by copying an old deed and ended up with a bunch of headaches (expensive ones) wish I would have used these documents first. Live and learn.

Bottom line - it was certainly worth the $21 (+-?) I paid for the form and instructions, etc.
Admittedly the form is a little inflexible in terms of editing for readability but I understand that offering greater flexibility would likely make theft more likely. So I'm happy with what I got. One suggestion - add more info about what's required in the "Source of Title" section.
