35-03-01.2. Nature, extent, and effect of lien - Security not to be impaired.
1. A mortgage is a lien upon everything that would pass by a grant of the property, and upon nothing more.
2. A mortgage is a lien upon the property mortgaged in the hands of everyone claiming under the mortgagor subsequently to its execution, except purchasers and encumbrancers in good faith without notice and for value.
3. Real property held adversely to the mortgagor may be mortgaged, and such a mortgage takes effect from the time at which the mortgagor or one claiming under the mortgagor obtains possession of the property and has precedence over every lien upon the mortgagor's interest in the property created subsequently to the recording of the mortgage.
4. Title acquired by the mortgagor subsequent to the execution of the mortgage inures to the mortgagee as security for the debt in like manner as if acquired before the execution.
5. In the absence of an express covenant, a mortgage does not bind the mortgagor personally to perform the act for the performance of which it is a security.
6. A mortgage does not entitle the mortgagee to the possession of the property, but after the execution of a mortgage, the mortgagor may agree to the change of possession without a new consideration.
7. The assignment of a debt secured by a mortgage carries the security with it.
8. No person whose interest is subject to the lien of a mortgage may do any act which will substantially impair the mortgagee's security.
35-03-07. Record - Notice to whom.
The record of a mortgage duly made operates as notice to all subsequent purchasers and encumbrancers.
Use this form to finance residential property, small commercial property, vacant land, condominiums, rental property and planned unit developments. A promissory note and mortgage with stringent default terms can be beneficial to the lender.

I had worked for a couple of months sending things back and forth to the county and still had no success. I decided to use deeds.com and it was all done in a few hours. Such a relief! While I find this to be wrong and the county should work with property owners as well as they work with third parties, I was still grateful for this service.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It was very easy to use the website. I wish there was an option to pay for multiple documents at once instead of having to pay for each one individually.

I find your forms hard to use, inasmuch as the forms cannot be converted to a Word Document. Editing and deleting of extra lines is not possible, making for a deed with large blank spaces.
Document that results is not usable for me.
Sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations. We have canceled your order and payment. We do hope you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.
