Contract for Deed also known as a Land Contract
Included are Three forms:
(1) "Contract for Deed" evidenced by a Promissory Note and
(2) "Promissory Note" secured by a Contract for Deed.
(3) "Annual Accounting Statement"
This is considered a more secure method of owner financing than just a land contract because the promissory note is more elaborate and defining of late payments, defaults and penalties. Typically, a Contract for Deed is a recorded instrument, as where the promissory note is held onto by the Seller/Lender until the note is paid in full. These forms are governed by Kentucky law. A promissory note with strong default terms can be beneficial to the seller/lender.

The Contract for Deed form states that the consideration reflected is the fair market value for the property. The parties join this Contract for Deed for the sole purpose of certifying the consideration pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statutes Chapter 382. These forms offer the choice of typical installment payments or a balloon payment, which is common in land contracts, $XXX down, payments for 3-5 years with balance due of YYY.

(Kentucky Contract for Deed Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example) For use in Kentucky Only.

The release of mortgage form was OK, and accepted at the recorder's office, but there were some problems. Many of the fields to type in were too small to accept the data, and I could not find a way to change the field size or use a smaller font. Otherwise I was satisfied.

I'm very happy with your service! It saved me, at least, hundreds of dollars vs. going through a lawyer in a different state.

I have to admit this process was a scary one but you have made it very clear and simple to follow along with. I felt their virtual hand holding, that is how user friendly it is. Thank you for being top notch.

The transfer deed documents are laid out the way county offices need, but I don't like the requirements so I'm going to leave a bad review.

Well, thanks we guess.

I did this on a desktop using a scanned .pdf file. Simple, straight-forward, excellent instructions, easy, fast, and well documented for each step. From account creation to proof of recording: 4 hours... from the comfort of my home. I would highly recommend this service to anyone, including - and maybe especially - those who are looking for fast recording who aren't well versed in computers and on-line processes. Well done in all ways.

Finding and downloading necessary forms, and especially the example forms, were tremendously easy and trouble free, and the fact the forms were updated recently was a big selling point. If other forms are needed, this is were I'm coming.
