Assignment of a Contract for Deed by the Seller This form is for a Seller who has signed a contract for deed to assign it to a third party. This form is usually used to transfer the contract in exchange for a discounted cash value. The person who received the assigned contract steps into the shoes of the Seller and receives future payments from the Purchaser. The Seller may also desire to convey the property to the assignee, or if not, be prepared to execute a deed to the Purchaser upon request of the assignee. Notice of an Assignment of Contract for Deed This for is for a Seller to provide notice to the Buyer(s) that the Seller has assigned a contract for deed to a third party and to make future payments to the third party. Sellers Disclosure of Financing Terms in Connection with Contract for Deed This document serves as notice to Purchaser of the purchase price of property and how payments, interest, and late charges are set. Document should be completed by Seller of property and provided to Purchaser at or before the signing of the contract for deed. . Sellers Annual Accounting This is a statement notifying the Purchaser of the number and amount of payments received toward contract for deed's purchase price and interest. This document is provided annually by Seller to Purchaser. Notice of Default of Past Due Payments in Connection with Contract for Deed This form acts as the Seller's initial notice to Purchaser of late payment toward the purchase price of the contract for deed property. Seller will use this document to provide the necessary notice to Purchaser that payment terms have not been met in accordance with the contract for deed, and failure to timely comply with demands of notice will result in default of the contract for deed. Final Notice of Past Due Payments in Connection with Contract for Deed Seller's final notice to Purchaser of failure to make payment toward the purchase price of the contract for deed property. Provides notice to Seller that without making payment by the date set in the notice the contract for deed will stand in default. Notice of Intent to Enforce Forfeiture Provisions of Contract for Deed Initial notice of Seller's intent to enforce forfeiture remedy of contract for deed if nonpayment or other breach is not cured. Final Notice of Forfeiture and Request to Vacate Property under Contract for Deed Notifies Purchaser, after all prior notices of breach have expired, that Seller has elected to cancel the contract for deed in accordance with its terms and all past payments made by Purchaser are now considered forfeited and any future occupancy of property will result in action by the court. General Notice of Default for Contract for Deed This is a general notice of default that can be used by the Seller to notify the Purchaser of being in default. This form allows the Seller to notify the Purchaser of the reason why the contract for deed is in default, the performance required to cure the default, and the Seller's planned remedy in case the Purchaser does not cure. Seller’s Disclosure of Forfeiture Rights for Contract for Deed This form is provided by the Seller to the Purchaser at the time of the contract signing. Mandatory use of this form is rarely required; however, this form provides the Purchaser with a good understanding of forfeiture and how he or she can be affected by it in the event of a default. Should the courts become involved the use of this form will help the Seller show that the Purchaser understood his side of the bargain and may help the Purchaser pursue the remedy of forfeiture if it is challenged by the Purchaser.
