Arkansas Contract for Deed

A Contract for Deed is also known as a land contract or installment sale agreement, because the seller allows the buyer to pay part of the purchase price in installment payments over time.

• The seller retains title to the property until the outstanding balance has been paid by the buyer.
• The template provides for several different methods of payment. Typically payments would be made monthly, with a balloon payment for the remaining balance at the end.
• The buyer is responsible for paying all taxes and assessments, and for keeping the property adequately insured.
• If the buyer defaults in payment, the contract is terminated and all payments made by the buyer are forfeited as liquidated damages. There is no foreclosure process involved.
