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

Thanks for making the Quitclaim Mineral Deed easy to understand, and the process so affordable.
Thank you, Elizabeth. We're glad the Quitclaim Mineral Deed package made the process clear and accessible. Mineral rights conveyances can feel intimidating without the right tools, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

This is my first time using this amazing service. I wish I was told about this before I went all the way downtown, drove thru construction zones, paid for parking only to be told the computer system had crashed. I was referred to Deeds.com and I will not use the downtown system again.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

This site was perfect in a time when travel is almost impossible. They asked a few questions to make sure everything would work out and once submitted took less than 24 hours. Less than 48 hours total time. Absolutely would use them again to submit documents even once can travel again!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Not very helpful since I am married and the example provided is for single person. Nevada homestead requires spouse to sign off on quit claim deed but no guidance provided as to where this acknowledgment is placed on template form. There should be example for married person as well. Had to use another service. Waste of $21.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
