This is a recordable mortgage that serves (as notice to all subsequent purchasers and encumbrancers.) (44-8-10) Included is a Power of Sale clause, considered more favorable to lenders because it uses a non-judicial foreclosure, saving time and expense. [In case of default in the payment of said principal sum of money or any part thereof, or interest thereon at the time or times above specified for payment thereof, or in case of nonpayment of any taxes, assessments, or insurance as aforesaid, or of breach of any covenant or agreement herein contained, then and in either case, the whole, principal and interest, of said note -- shall at the option of the holder thereof, immediately become due and payable, and this mortgage may be foreclosed by action, or by advertisement as provided by statute or the rules of practice relating thereto, and this paragraph shall be deemed as authorizing and constituting a power of sale as mentioned in said statutes or rules, and any amendatory thereof.] [44-8-3]
This mortgage contains a (due-on-sale clause) which (is a provision of a real estate mortgage which requires that the note secured by the mortgage be paid at the time the property is transferred and no assumption of the original note is permitted.) (44-8-27). This is done because [No lender may enforce a due-on-sale clause unless the real estate mortgage includes such clause.] [44-8-28]
44-8-21. Mortgage securing note for purchase price of real estate--No negotiability--Enforcement of liability--Endorsement of note.

The rights of any party to said note, or of any assignee, or purchaser thereof, shall not be affected by the absence of such endorsement but shall be the same as though such note had been properly endorsed. Nothing herein contained shall apply to such note given prior to July 1, 1933.
44-8-22. Rights of payee of note given in payment of purchase price--Deficiency judgment prohibition inapplicable unless note secured by real estate mortgage.
Nothing contained in 44-8-20 or 44-8-21 shall affect the rights of a payee or other owner of a note given in payment of all or part of the purchase price of real estate unless such note is secured by a real estate mortgage.

The staff at Deeds.com was very patient and ensured the deed was in the correct format for recording. Had I tried to record it myself, it would have been rejected, as I did not have the home address for the 2 witnesses. I would definitely recommend deeds.com
Thanks for the kind words, Daniel. Witness address requirements catch a lot of people off guard. Glad we could get everything squared away before it hit the recorder's desk. We appreciate the recommendation.
