Questions answered? Let's get started!

A mortgage is a conveyance of title to property that is given as security for a loan until the grantor (borrower) repays the lender according to terms defined in an attached promissory note. It contains a lien against the security property that ends when the debt is repaid.

Use this form for financing real property- residential, rental units, condominiums, vacant land, small commercial and planned unit developments.

Mortgage covenants

Transfer of Rights in the Property. The Mortgagor hereby mortgages to the Mortgagee the Property described in this Mortgage. Mortgagor can lose the Property for failure to keep the promises in this Mortgage.

Applicable Law. Mortgagee shall have all the rights set forth in Section 254 of the New York Real Property Law in addition to Mortgagee's rights set forth in this Mortgage, even if the rights are different from each other.

Non-Judicial Foreclosure. Mortgagee shall have the power of sale under Article 14 of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law, as it may be amended from time to time, and under any successor statute or statute of similar impo1t and effect which may subsequently be enacted providing for non-judicial sale of the Property, subject to the requirements and restrictions applicable to such statutory process.

Promissory Note

A promissory note is a negotiable instrument that contains an unconditional written promise, signed by the borrower, to repay the lender or its designated agent. The promissory note also defines the amount and specific terms of the loan between borrower (maker) and lender (payee/holder).
The promissory note is not recorded on its own. Instead, it is presented for recording along with its related deed of trust or mortgage.
A mortgage that includes a power of sale clause and a promissory note that includes stringent default terms can be beneficial to the lender

I never could even think to solve an important issue involving even overseas individuals without even a lawyer within 24 h. This service works for real and I'll keep using it from now for any future needs, referring to and proposing it as a legitimate, trusted real Optimus service. I'm extremely satisfied and being a Public Official myself I got to say that these guys have really impressed me!

South Carolina Warranty Deed document is good. The example and instruction documents are marginal help for Trusts.

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback, Richard. We’re glad to hear the South Carolina Warranty Deed met your needs. We appreciate your note about the trust-related guidance as well. That’s helpful input, and we’ll review the example and instruction materials to see where we can improve clarity for trust transfers.

You could make instructions clearer on the download process and when download is complete. You could also group things together for 1 or 2 "big" downloads.
