*The Following Minnesota and Cook County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Certificate of Real Estate Value
Buyers of real property must file this form if its sale price (or other consideration) is more than $3,000. Effective October 1, 2014, the Minnesota Department of Revenue will no longer accept the paper Certificate of Real Estate Value (CRV). Instead, the e-CRV is being implemented as an electronic replacement to the four-part paper CRV form. Transfer documents almost all require the electronic CRV and, if submitted with a paper CRV, will be rejected and required to be resubmitted with an e-CRV. Please consult the guidelines posted here for a specific list of documents. To submit the e-CRV, visit this url: https://www.revenue.state.mn.us/electronic-certificate-real-estate-value-ecrv
Deed Tax
Form 1 may be used to document your claim for an exempt or minimum tax transfer. This form lists 27 transfer tax exemptions. Form 2 is used if transfer tax is due and must be submitted within 30 days. Note: In the absence of a qualifying reason, deed tax must be based on at least the fair market value of the property being conveyed. The “full” deed tax rate is .0033 (.0034 for Hennepin and Ramsey counties).
Mortgage Registry Tax
Form MRT1 may be used to document your claim for an exemption from mortgage tax or the basis of your tax. The mortgage registry tax rate is .0023 of the amount of the debt being secured (.0024 for Hennepin and Ramsey counties).
Well Disclosure Certificate
Prior to signing an agreement to sell or transfer real property, the seller must always disclose in writing the location and status of all wells on the property to the buyer, along with the legal description and county of the property, and a sketch map showing the location of each well or indicate there are no wells on the property. This form comes with instructions. If there is no well, this form does not need to be completed.
Well Disclosure of Grantee in Deed
A form for the grantee (buyer) to acknowledge if there is a well on the property. This form can only be recorded as attachment to the deed.
Affidavit Regarding Seller by Individual(s)
This affidavit must be signed and notarized and may be needed if the seller(s) must declare certain facts about the property that is being conveyed.
Affidavit Regarding Purchaser by Individual(s)
This affidavit must be signed and notarized and may be needed for the purchaser to state knowledge of certain facts regarding the property.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by notaries in the state.
Including:
One of the fundamental principles of contract law is the right to assign contract rights to a third party. This is a corollary to the principle of "delegation," which involves assigning the duties under a contract to a third party. For example, Jack contracts with Jill to build Jill a house. Jack then assigns the right to payment for the house to Fred (maybe he owes Fred some money on a debt). This is called an "assignment." Contrast that with if Jack were to enlist Fred to build the house for Jill to fulfill Jack and Jill's contract, this would be a "delegation" (although possibly not a legal one if Jill entered the agreement specifically to seek Jack's special services). With the basic legal terminology clarified, let's move on to how lien assignments work in Minnesota.
Lien assignments work like any other assignments of rights under other types of contracts. Therefore, they are governed under Minnesota's version of the Uniform Commercial Code which is codified under Chapter 336 of the Minnesota Statutes.
Under the Commercial Code's rule on assignments, all rights of either seller or buyer can be assigned except where the assignment would materially change the duty of the other party, or increase materially the burden or risk imposed on the other party by the contract, or impair materially the other party's chance of obtaining return performance. M.S. 336.2-210(2). In general, as long as there is no increased burden or risk, or the duties required by the party subject to the lien somehow change, an assignment is permissible.

Review: My experience could not have been better. Easy to communicate with, even though I'm largely ignorant of technical problem-solving. I may be addle-minded with 83 years on earth, but I think they actually cared about solving my problem and were sorry it was beyond their territory. Truly extra nice.
