A "Contract for Deed," sometimes referred to as a Land Contract is a legal agreement in which the buyer of a property agrees to pay the seller the purchase price over a period of time. During this period, the buyer has possession of the property, but the seller retains legal title to the property until the full purchase price is paid.
Recording the Contract: In Kansas, it's usually a good idea to record the contract for deed or an Affidavit of Equitable Interest with the county register of deeds. This ensures public notice of the buyer's interest in the property and protects against subsequent claims.
Foreclosure Process: If the buyer defaults on a contract for deed, the seller may need to go through a judicial foreclosure process to regain possession of the property. Kansas law will specify the procedure, notice requirements, and redemption rights.
Equitable Title: Under a contract for deed, the buyer often holds equitable title to the property, meaning they have a right to obtain full legal title once the contract terms are fulfilled. However, until then, the legal title remains with the seller.
Rights and Obligations: The contract should clearly outline the rights and responsibilities of both the buyer and the seller, including payment schedules, property maintenance, tax obligations, and insurance.
Default and Acceleration Clauses: Contracts for deed commonly contain clauses that detail what constitutes a default and what happens in such a scenario, including the possibility of an acceleration clause which demands full payment upon default.
Annual Accounting Statement
Principal and Interest Breakdown: The statement should clearly show how much of the buyer's payments have been applied toward the principal balance of the property and how much has gone toward interest.
Remaining Balance: It should indicate the remaining balance of the principal after the year's payments have been applied.
Payment History: The statement might include a summary of the payments made during the year, including dates and amounts.
Taxes and Insurance: If the seller is responsible for paying property taxes and insurance from the buyer's payments (common in escrow arrangements), the statement should detail these payments.
Late Fees or Penalties: If any late fees or penalties were incurred during the year, these should also be documented.
Escrow Account Balance: If there is an escrow account associated with the contract, the statement should include the current balance of this account.
Legal Compliance: Ensure that the Annual Accounting Statement complies with any relevant Kansas laws and the specific terms of your Contract for Deed.

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.

Our home was in only my husband’s name and as we are getting older, it was time to add my name to the Deed to avoid potential issues in the future. Our experience with Deeds.com was wonderful. The website is user friendly, instructions written in layman’s terms, straightforward and easy to follow. Very reasonably priced. I highly recommend using Deeds.com.
Thank you for the kind words Cindy. We appreciate you. Have an amazing day!

Thank you so much for providing simple but very significant documents one can basically do PRO SE, without any additional huge counsel expenses and yet be legitimate enough to officially file them as state law allows and extends to basic documents processing and filings. Thank you so much for the professional documents provided as they do the proper job. MP
Thank you for the kind words Maribel. Glad we were able to help!

Good after I figured out the form process. Hopefully I won't be charged for two as I redid the request thinking I might have made a mistake in the first request.

It would help if pages of a document indicated 1 of 3 etc. When I downloaded the TOD guide I got a 4th page though it only showed 3 on the screen.

My questions were answered promptly. I was not able to locate the deed I was searching for because my county has not uploaded the documents to be accessed through this system. I am sure I could have found what I was looking for had the information been available through the system. Thank you for your assistance.
Thank you!
