File a Memorandum of Contract in Montana
Under contract on a Montana property and want to make sure the seller can't quietly sell to someone else? Recording a memorandum of contract puts the public on constructive notice of your equitable interest. Jurably prepares, notarizes, and records it for you.
How it works in Montana
A memorandum is a short instrument recorded in the county real-property records. It references the parties and the property and gives notice that a purchase contract exists — without disclosing the price or terms. Once recorded, a title search turns it up as an exception, which practically stops a clean sale to anyone else while your contract is live. It is lawful notice of a genuine, executed contract — not a lien and not a pressure tactic.
Recording across Montana
Montana has 56 counties, 33 of which support electronic recording. Jurably routes each filing to whichever rail the county uses — e-recording where available, certified mail on the paper rail everywhere else — then returns your recorded instrument.
