Explanation
Minnesota statutes require contract for deed documents to include disclosure of the vendor's (seller's) interest, including any existing mortgages or encumbrances on the property. This protects the vendee (buyer) from unknown superior liens. Contracts for deed are common in Minnesota for properties that do not qualify for conventional financing.
