94.12 Contract for deed and quitclaim deed.

In the event a purchaser elects to purchase surplus real property on an installment basis, the commissioner of administration shall enter into a contract for deed with the purchaser thereof in which shall be set forth the description of the real property sold and the price thereof, the consideration paid and to be paid therefor, the rate of interest, and time and terms of payment. This contract for deed shall be made assignable and shall further set forth that in case of the nonpayment of the annual principal or interest payment due by the purchaser, or any person claiming under the purchaser, then the contract for deed, from the time of such failure, will be entirely void and of no effect and the state may be repossessed of the lot or tract and may resell the same as provided in sections 94.09 to 94.16. In the event the terms and conditions of a contract for deed are completely fulfilled or if a purchaser makes a lump sum payment for the subject property in lieu of entering into a contract for deed, the commissioner of administration, shall sign and cause to be issued a quitclaim deed on behalf of the state. Said quitclaim deed shall be in a form prescribed by the attorney general and shall vest in purchaser all of the state's interest in the subject property except as provided in section 94.14.
