A "Memorandum of Contract" in Indiana is a legal document used to provide public notice of a contract or agreement concerning real estate without revealing the full details of the contract. When recorded in the county where the property is located, it serves as a way to notify third parties, such as potential buyers or lenders, that there is an existing contract or agreement related to the property.
IN Code § 36-2-11-20 Sec. 20. (a) As used in this section, "contract" means an agreement for a seller to sell real estate to a purchaser that provides for the purchaser to pay the purchase price to the seller in periodic installments, with the seller retaining record title to the real estate and the purchaser acquiring equitable title to the real estate.
Purpose: The primary purpose of a Memorandum of Contract is to secure the parties' interests by making the existence of a contract public without disclosing the full contract terms. Use this form for real property purchase agreements.
IN Code § 36-2-11-20 (g) A memorandum of a lease or a memorandum of contract may be recorded in lieu of the lease or contract itself if the memorandum is executed and acknowledged by the parties and contains:
(1) the names of the parties;
(2) the term of the lease or contract;
(3) any option of the lessee to renew or extend the term of the lease or of the purchaser to renew or extend the term of the contract; and
(4) the specific legal description of the real estate, or a survey or plot plan authorized under subsection (i) showing the location of the real estate.
(h) A memorandum recorded under this section may also contain any other agreement made between the parties in the lease or contract.
Statutory Basis: Indiana has statutes governing the recording of documents affecting real estate. Indiana Code § 32-21-4 provides general guidelines for recording instruments, including those affecting real estate interests. Specific requirements may vary based on the type of contract and the county.
Effect of Recording: Once recorded, the memorandum places a cloud on the title, meaning any future buyers or creditors will be aware of the existing contract. This can protect the parties from unauthorized transactions or encumbrances.
For use in Indiana only.
Termination: If the underlying contract is terminated, parties typically record a document to release the memorandum, clearing the title.

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.
Thanks for the kind words James, glad we could help. Look forward to seeing you again.

Wasn’t what I expected
Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

On multiple tries, I could not get validation mail through my Yahoo email address. I tried Gmail, worked the first time. The rest of the process was super easy and fast.

I wish all the forms had been in a downloadable package so that it wasn't so difficult to make sure I had them all. Too many pages open on the click throughs. I haven't had a chance to fill them out but hope they are all there.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

the deeds and related materials themselves are excellent but the PDF application is awful plus there is no way to customize the documents for specific purposes, so I had to type them from scratch in each instance.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I found the documents I needed and so many more that I will utilize for business, personal and family needs. Also I made a purchase of an additional document I did not need that serves the same purpose as one I purchased and Deeds.com had no issue refunding the unnecessary document in an unbelievably quick response and refund. I would recommend this document provider to everyone including legal office management.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
