A Kansas Memorandum of Lease is a document recorded to provide notice of a lease agreement's existence. According to Kansas Statute 58-2221, it can convey an estate or interest created by an oil and gas lease, or any lease or easement involving wind resources for electricity generation. It must be recorded with the Register of Deeds in the county where the property is situated and must include the full names and addresses of the parties involved. The register is responsible for immediate recording and checking for errors against previous transfer records.

The statutes 58-2501 to 58-2510 in Kansas law collectively establish the legal framework for lease agreements and their termination. They dictate the terms under which leases can exist (58-2501), including the rights tenants have concerning property improvements (58-2501a), define annual tenancies (58-2502), set out how and when rent is to be paid (58-2503), and provide procedures for terminating leases, whether at will (58-2504), yearly (58-2505), or for farm or pastureland (58-2506, 58-2506a). Additionally, they specify the notice requirements for ending leases of different durations (58-2507, 58-2508), circumstances where no notice is needed (58-2509), and how such notices should be served (58-2510). Each statute impacts the enforceability and execution of a Memorandum of Lease by clarifying the rights and obligations of the parties involved throughout the lease's duration and upon its termination.

I filled out the Xfer on Death Deed and turned it in to the County Recorder - everything went well. I did NOT like the Huge Print over like a stamp of "DEEDS.COM" on some of the material - it just made it hard to read.

I used deeds.com to record a deed because the recording office closed due to Covid 19.
It was easy to sign up and upload the documents I needed recorded and within 24 hours possibly even less, the deeds were recorded. I am very happy with the service and the $15 fee was affordable and worth every penny to get it done so quickly.
