Sample Memorandum of Agreement

A memorandum of agreement protects an owner who is not bankrupt or in debt from creditors, bankruptcies and liens involving other owners, and from attacks by heirs, ex spouses, and other non-signers. It provides “constructive notice” of the existence of the agreement so that creditors and other outside parties cannot claim they are not bound, and prevents them from using a “partition” to force sale and division of proceeds according to title percentage (without regard to what the agreement says).
