What is a Memorandum Of Purchase And Sale Agreement?

A memorandum of purchase and sale agreement is a legal document that protects a buyer from being outbid after the seller accepts their offer. This agreement is signed by the seller and buyer at the time an offer is accepted, and effectively makes it illegal for a buyer to accept any other offers on the property. This is true even if another offer comes in that exceeds the amount already accepted. In order for a seller to accept other offers, the buyer must rescind their offer and affirm their decision by signing a release of memorandum of contract.
