FAQ

In the first instance, if your deed is not recorded, there is nothing in the public record to stop the seller from conveying the property to another person.The second situation could happen if your seller fails to pay his or her debts and the seller's creditors file liens or judgments against your property.

Usually the contract requires the buyer to make payments over time with interest payable on the unpaid balance. Once a buyer pays all of the payments called for under the contract, the owner transfers to the buyer a deed to the property.

A disadvantage to the seller is that a contract for deed is frequently characterized by a low down payment and the purchase price is paid in installments instead of one lump sum.The legal fees and time frame for this process will be more extensive than a standard Power of Sale foreclosure.

This means that if you default and can?t make your payments, you lose the property and all of the money you have already paid into it (often including repairs and improvements). Unlike a traditional mortgage, a defaulting buyer in a contact for deed may only have 30-60 days to cure the default or move out.

In order to cancel a contract for deed, a seller needs to complete a form called a notice of cancellation of contract for deed, and have the notice personally served on the buyer.A seller can cancel a contract for deed for buyer's default in making the monthly payments.

Contact the other party and ask whether they are willing to negotiate the cancellation of the contract. Offer the other party an incentive to cancel the contract for deed.

Failure to record a deed effectively makes it impossible for the public to know about the transfer of a property. That means the legal owner of the property appears to be someone other than the buyer, a situation that can generate serious ramifications.

Contrary to normal expectations, the Deed DOES NOT have to be recorded to be effective or to show delivery, and because of that, the Deed DOES NOT have to be signed in front of a Notary Public. However, if you plan to record it, then it does have to be notarized as that is a County Recorder requirement.

The buyer should record the contract for deed with the county recorder where the land is located and does so normally within four months after the contract is signed, though the time may vary depending on state law.
