If you’re under contract on a Bartholomew County property, we file a memorandum of contract to secure your equitable interest so the seller can’t sell out from under you. Need it notarized first? We handle online notarization or send a mobile notary to your signer. Then we record it — electronically through the county’s approved network — and return the recorded instrument.
