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.

Quite simple and easy.
Only one critique: It would be easier if the names of the PDF would reflect the name of the deed/form such as 'Controlling tax return' rather than '1579101185SF56863.pdf'.
However I love downloading forms rather than mail.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
