If you’re under contract on a Lee 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 — by certified mail on the paper rail — and return the recorded instrument. It’s a self-help filing service, not legal advice.
