The primary purpose of the memorandum is to give public notice of the existence of the sales contract/agreement and to establish the buyer's interest in the property.
Key Provisions:
Recording of Instruments (N.J.S.A. 46:16-1): This statute outlines the requirements for recording instruments affecting real property, which includes a Memorandum of Contract. It mandates that any deed or other instrument intended to create, transfer, or encumber an interest in real property must be recorded in the county where the property is located.
Effect of Recording (N.J.S.A. 46:21-1 et seq.): This section details the legal effect of recording documents. Recording a memorandum provides constructive notice to third parties of the existence of the underlying contract and the interests of the parties involved.
Acknowledgment and Proof (N.J.S.A. 46:14-1 et seq.): These statutes govern the acknowledgment and proof required for documents to be recorded. A Memorandum of Contract typically must be acknowledged before a notary public or other authorized officer to be eligible for recording.
Form and Content (N.J.S.A. 46:16-1.1): Specifies that documents presented for recording must be in a form that is acceptable to the county recording office, including the need for notarization and any additional information required by the local jurisdiction.
Example Statutory Language: N.J.S.A. 46:16-1: "Any deed or other instrument which is intended to create, transfer, or encumber an interest in real property in this State may be recorded in the office of the county recording officer of the county in which the real property is situated."
Practical Implications: A Memorandum of Contract should be prepared in accordance with these statutes, ensuring it is properly acknowledged and contains all necessary information to be accepted for recording.

This was the first time to use the Deeds.com website for preparing my deed document. This was painless and easy to follow the instructions and sample package for filling in the blank boxes document. The city clerk was impressed to review my document and easily filed my deed record without questions. I would recommend anyone to prepare a legal form that is available from the Deeds.com website.
Your appreciative words mean the world to us. Thank you.

This was easy to use and only contained one glaring error-where to send the completed form to finish the process. I’ve completed the form, does this mean I get the amended deed sent to me? I think not.
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

After my county rejected a deed from another company, I researched better and purchased my Lady Bird Deed from Deeds.com. Very simple, received everything immediately. Printed out sample and guide sheets and filled out my deed. Very thorough and easy to understand. All the additional forms were awesome. And the best part is, my county recorded my deed this morning! WooHoo! Very happy customer! Thank you!
Glad to hear! Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We appreciate you. Have a great day.
