About

A land contract, also known as a contract for deed or installment sale agreement, is a real estate transaction where the seller provides financing to the buyer. Instead of obtaining a traditional mortgage from a bank, the buyer makes monthly payments directly to the seller until the purchase price is paid in full. During this period, the buyer holds equitable title and possession of the property, while the seller retains legal title as security. This arrangement carries unique risks: buyers may lose their equity if they miss a single payment (depending on state law), and sellers remain liable for existing mortgages on the property. Because state-specific land contract laws vary significantly regarding forfeiture and recording requirements, it is essential to use a comprehensive template that clearly outlines the rights and obligations of both parties.
