Questions answered? Let's get started!

Use this form to release a portion of property secured by a mortgage and promissory note. Example: borrower has financed 5 lots for $100,000.00 which has since been paid down to a balance of $30,000.00. Borrower approaches Lender and would like the lender to release lot #3 because he has it sold. The lender might think, ok - he will owe me $30,000.00 on the remaining 4 lots, I consider this a good risk. The same can also be applicable to condominiums, apartments, parcels, etc.

This form is used by the (mortgagee or the personal representative, successor, or assign of the mortgagee), who (shall prepare a discharge of the mortgage, file the discharge with the register of deeds for the county where the mortgaged property is located, and pay the fee for recording the discharge.)

I purchased a Quit Claim Deed package a couple weeks ago. The included guide unfortunately didn't answer all the questions about my specific case of how to fill it out, so I sent them a couple questions on Sept 8. It's now the 23rd, and still no reply. The form is a useless waste of money if I don't know how to fill it out in a legally-accurate way.

We certainly do not want you to waste your money Philippe, to that end your order and payment has been canceled. We do hope that you seek the advice of a legal professional familiar with your specific situation. It should go without saying but just to be clear, our do it yourself forms do not include legal representation for $19. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you for being there for me when I couldn't get it done myself. I was a little confused with the operation at first but then became easy. I will definitely be using you again and again. Even after the pandemic is over.It's approximately 15 miles one way to downtown Orlando to do what you did for me sitting at my house

All of these forms should be downloadable in .zip format - having to do 8-9 downloads is ridiculous, respectfully.

Excellent website with examples on how to fill out forms. Even better was the help from the office of the county clerk. I called them twice and they were extremely helpful on how to fill out the forms. Kudos to them!!!
