On this date, the buyer pays the purchase price (minus any deposits or earnest money already paid), the seller transfers ownership of the property to the buyer, and both parties sign all necessary documents. This date is agreed upon by both the buyer and the seller and specified in the contract.
Key aspects of the closing date include:
1. Timing: It is usually set a few weeks to a few months after the contract is signed,
Closing Process: Transfer of Ownership. At the closing, the Seller will transfer all of its ownership of the property to the Buyer via Deed. The Seller represents that it has never sold or transferred any of its right title or interest in the Property or done anything to encumber same. The Seller agrees that it shall do nothing between now and the time of Closing to sell or transfer any of its right title or interest in the Property or do anything to encumber same.
2. Adjustments: Sometimes, the closing date may need to be adjusted if there are delays in meeting contingencies or other unforeseen issues.
Relevant statutes and general principles that apply:
1. Title 46:2A - Recording of Instruments: 46:2A-1: Requires the recording of real property conveyances, including contracts for deed, to be recorded in the county where the property is located. This provides public notice and helps protect the buyer's interest in the property.
2. Title 46:3 - Form and Construction of Conveyances: 46:3-1 to 46:3-18: Governs the formal requirements of conveyances, including contracts for deed. These sections cover the necessary language, execution, and acknowledgment requirements to make a conveyance valid and enforceable.

I was introduced to Deeds.com from my title company. I wanted the title company to do a courtesy recording for me and they suggested Deeds.com. Best suggestion in a while. The interface to use the website was seemlessly easy. The communication with the service staff was thorough and prompt. After the initial verification process (which the photo app was a little tricky), everything was easy. Will use them again.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

The State form I chose was valid and accurate. However, I found the ability to enter information was inadequate and difficult. Converted the form to a Word document and was then able to enter the information I needed to.
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
