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.

I AM DELIGHTED TO BE PARTY TO DEEDS.COM. THE PROCESS IS DOWN-TO-EARTH AND VERY USER FRIENDLY. I MUST SAY THAT JUST THE SAVINGS IN TRAVEL TIME AND MONEY IS IN ITSELF VERY REFRESHING. THIS ON LINE PROCESS IS SO CONVENIENT FOR MY OVERALL EFFORT AND OF COURSE FOR OUR CLIENTS AS WELL. I GOT BACKED UP IN RECORDING WHEN THE VIRUS BEGAN RAGING AND PERSONAL VISITS TO LAND RECORDS BECAME A THING OF THE PAST.I FOUND THE SITE WITH A SUGGESTION FROM DC LAND RECORDS' ASSISTANT BY PHONE. I ONLY WISH I'D KNOWN ABOUT THIS AWESOME SERVICE BEFORE 2020. HATS OFF TO DEEDS.COM!

I thought the instructions could have been a little better. I didn't know how to do this if the spouses are married but living in separate residences. Also I didn't understand the "Prior Instrument Reference". That should be explained better. Very sketchy instructions.

I tried to use the free stuff you find on the internet. You quickly find out that free is rarely ever (never) free. Even worse, the long term cost can be immeasurable. Glad I realized that before I got too far in. Do yourself a favor, spend a few bucks up front to get the right forms.
