Questions answered? Let's get started!

Use this form to assign an existing mortgage to another party.
Formatted for recordation in the [Registry of Deeds] or [Land Court Registry], approximately 15 to 20% of land in Massachusetts is registered land, meaning the land is insured by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and documents affecting real property must be recorded in the Land Court.

Section 28. In an assignment of a mortgage of real estate the word ''assign'' shall be a sufficient word to transfer the mortgage, without the words ''transfer and set over''.

Mortgage broker endorsement included.
Section 6D. Every mortgage and assignment of mortgage secured by residential property, as defined in section 1 of chapter 255E, presented for record, in which a mortgage broker, as defined in said section 1 of said chapter 255E, is involved shall contain or have endorsed upon it the name, post office address and license number of the mortgage broker and, if applicable, the mortgage loan originator, as defined in section 1 of chapter 255F, responsible for placing the mortgage loan with the mortgagee. This endorsement, or notation that no mortgage broker or mortgage loan originator was involved in the mortgage, if known, shall be recorded as part of the mortgage or assignment of mortgage. Failure to comply with this section shall not affect the validity of any mortgage or the recording of any mortgage or assignment of mortgage.

When a mortgage is assigned, proper disclosures must be presented to current borrower(s). Generally within 30 days to avoid penalty. Included is a "NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT OF MORTGAGE" document.

(Massachusetts Assignment of Mortgage Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example) For use in Massachusetts only.

As good as any of the rip off document services on the internet. Received the documents through download, were as described. Not as cheap as driving to the courthouse and getting them for free, but easier than doing so.

Thank you, Pat. We’re glad the documents were as described and easy to access. Just to clarify — Johnson County doesn’t provide a Transfer on Death Deed form. We make the correct, recordable version available, and any required supplemental forms are free on our site, with or without purchase.

Quick and easy. Would recommend this site to everyone. Deed was sent to the site and recorded at my local county within 24 hours. Website could be set up better. Not labeled well for us that is not computer savvy.

Awesome! Quick service and well worth the very minimal fee for the convenience of being able to quickly record my mothers will without having to leave the house. Also, our court is currently closed due to Covid. So happy to have found Deeds.com

I wanna give more stars because the required information is there, but the character spacing is disjointed on the first page, rendering a gap-filled, awkward-looking document. Also, the opening parenthesis for the first field on the first page is on the wrong line and is backwards, which sets the wrong tone especially since it's the first thing you have to fill out.
