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

The site is fine with one exception. About half the pdf files I downloaded were corrupted. I could not open them or view their contents. Fortunately, the link continued to work, so after I discovered this, I downloaded the corrupted files again, and they now seem fine. I do not know if my computer or the website caused this odd problem.

My biggest complaint is I did not know when my document was ready until I got this survey. An email should be sent to say document is ready.

Sorry about that David. We will look into better email notifications. Hope you have a great day.

We have been waiting for a Title Company to put a release of Lien together for the past 3 months. I figured it was taking way to long and decided to use template here instead. In less than hour I was able to add all the information on the template and provide forms to our Seller to use. We were buying and he didnt think they were necessary. But I refused to pay him in full until he agreed to sign papers at the bank, and of course in front of a notary. We turned around and filed the Release of lien paperwork at County Clerks office, we officially own our house. Thank you!

The NV Clark County deed upon death was perfect! Our county doesn't offer a template, but rather has a long list of rules and specifications where they expect you to make your own document. I didnt want to risk making an unacceptable form so I purchased the template from Deeds.com. It was easy to use and very thorough. Our deed upon death was notarized and filed with the county with no issue. Save yourselves the time and headache and get the template!
