This mortgage includes a power of sale clause and waiver of rights, saving time and expense in the case of a foreclosure.
Waiver of Rights. This Mortgage contains a power of sale that permits the Mortgagee/Lender to cause the Premises to be sold in the event of a default. Mortgagee/Lender may elect to cause the Premises to be sold by advertisement rather than pursuant to court action, and Mortgagor/Borrower voluntarily and knowingly waives any right Mortgagor/Borrower may have by virtue of any applicable constitutional provision or statute to any notice or court hearing before the exercise required by the Michigan statute governing foreclosures by advertisement.
In the event of default in any of the terms or covenants of this Mortgage, Mortgagee/Lender shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of MCL 554.231-.233, MSA 26.1137(1)-(3), and 1966 PA 151.
Use this mortgage to finance residential property, small commercial, condominiums, rental property, and planned unit developments even with an existing first mortgage on the subject property. A mortgage and promissory note that include stringent default terms can be beneficial to the Mortgagee/Lender.
Included is an annual accounting statement form
565.161 Annual statements to mortgagor; when required, contents.
Sec. 1.
Where, by the terms of a mortgage on real property, the mortgagor is required to make periodic payments which include sums to be allocated to an escrow account for the purpose of paying taxes, insurance or improvements to the property, or any combination of such purposes, the mortgagee or agent receiving the periodic payments shall furnish the mortgagor with a statement within 60 days of the close of the calendar year, showing the beginning balance of the escrow fund, total receipts received by the fund during the calendar year, an itemized statement of all expenditures from the fund during the calendar year and the balance in the fund at the end of the calendar year.

Forms easy to download but experienced problems trying to type in my information into the forms. Then when I went to print a form, Adobe wanted to charge me for printing. I ended up printing the blank forms and then filling them out manually.
Thank you, Ronald. We're glad you found the forms easy to download, though we're sorry to hear about the printing and fill-in experience. Our forms are designed to be fillable and printable using free software like Adobe Reader. If you ever run into issues, our support team is happy to help!

The Personal Representatives Deed is definitely a helpful document for my files. I find it need just a little tweaking by deeds.com , There should be more space for the legal description. I did see in the FAQ's you recommend putting it in the Exhibit and this is what I did. Also I couldn't get the year to be accepted and had to write it in. These are just some minor suggestions, on the whole I was grateful to find this document. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear that you had trouble with the date field, we will have it reviewed.

Sign up was rocky. Tried to access documents and msg. said did not recognize my email (even though it had sent me an email). Contacted support and it was resolved. House transfer affidavit straight forward and easy to fill out.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The form is easy to use. However, the quit claim deed form seems to be for parcel of land, because the word "real property" is not in the form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I was counting on deeds.com to help me with a closing I was working on. I stumbled with the instructions but when I recovered there were no problems. The instructions were helpful and the deeds etc. were just what I needed. I give deeds five stars. I am 76 years old and when the application asks for the user's name I always think they want my name. WRONG. I am trying to learn computer speak.
Thank you Alfred, have an amazing day!

I would not have ordered this form had I realised how limited the fields are for details. There is no room for elaboration of terms. The language only allows one grantor and one grantee, and the gender and quantity default construction is a poor choice. Be basic, but leave room for more.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
