In New Jersey, a Release of Memorandum of Contract is a document executed to formally acknowledge that a prior agreement, typically a real estate contract, is no longer in effect. Here are the reasons why a seller might execute this document:
1. Termination of a Sales Contract: If a real estate transaction falls through—for example, if the buyer cannot secure financing or if a contingency is not met—the seller might execute a Release of Memorandum of Contract to legally confirm that the deal is no longer active.
2. N.J.S.A. 46:16-1 - Recording of Documents: This statute outlines the requirements for the recording of real property documents, such as deeds, mortgages, and memoranda of contracts. A Release of Memorandum of Contract is typically recorded to remove any encumbrance created by the original memorandum, clearing the title for future transactions.
3. Buyer's Release of Claims: By executing this release, the seller ensures that the buyer no longer has any claims or rights to the property under the previous contract, which allows the seller to move forward with selling the property to someone else.
4. Avoiding Legal Disputes: The release provides legal clarity, confirming that neither party has further obligations under the contract, which can help avoid potential disputes in the future.
5. N.J.S.A. 46:26A-1 et seq. - The New Jersey Recording Act: The Recording Act governs how documents related to real property must be filed and recorded with the county clerk or registrar. A Release of Memorandum of Contract must be recorded to ensure it is effective against third parties and to remove any notice of the previous contract from the public record.
The document effectively serves to "erase" any public record or legal claim that the buyer might have had under the earlier agreement.
Formatted to be executed by the Seller(s) or Seller's representative.

The process was fast and efficient. I did get a bit confused after entering info for my package but soon realized I had completed this part of the process and only needed to leave the page and wait for review of the document and then the invoice. It was pretty simple. After payment of the invoice I was notified that the document had been submitted. A few hours later I received notice that the document was recorded by the city. It was fast!
We are motivated by your feedback to continue delivering excellence. Thank you!

The guide I needed was very easy to understand and the template was easy to complete. I had a property attorney review the deed before I had it registered and she was impressed. She said she couldn't have written it better herself! Definitely worth the money instead of paying high dollar attorney fees for a simple task.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

Quick and easy to use. I was able to download the Transfer on Death Deed form to my computer so that I can read through and fill them out at a later time. That made it convenient and "no pressure". The complimentary guide and completed example that came with the form was also very helpful.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I was not able to add more linea to the deed and add up to four people and their addresses. The document should be able to be expanded.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Deeds.com had much better and fuller information than any other help i found (90% complete vs 60 % complete); they tout how up-to-date they are on all the counties in the country and the idiosyncrasies of each county's forms and procedures; but some minor points of the info i needed were missing or confusing. Including that they sold me on e-Recording my deed through them, only to find out after i had done all the prep for that, that they had failed to tell me upfront (or i missed it somehow) that the county i was dealing with did not yet accept online recording. So, they were by far the best i found, but not 100%.
Thank you for your honest and thorough feedback Trace. We will review your concerns carefully in an effort to improve our services. Hope you have an amazing day.
