Questions answered? Let's get started!
The Vermont Assignment of Mortgage (Married Couple or Civil Union Partners) transfers a recorded Vermont mortgage from two holders who are married to each other or joined in a civil union to a new holder. The form recites exactly two assignors in one of those relationships and carries a signature block and an acknowledgment certificate for each of them, the configuration that matches a mortgagee interest a couple holds together.
Two holders of one mortgage
A couple ends up on the lender's side of a Vermont mortgage most often through seller financing: spouses or civil union partners sell property they owned together, take back a mortgage from the buyers, and collect payments over time. When they later transfer that mortgage, commonly with the note it secures, both of them appear in the instrument. Vermont marital property law explains why. Vermont title practice treats a conveyance to two persons whose marriage or civil union the state recognizes as creating a tenancy by the entirety unless the instrument shows a different intent, and under Cooper v. Cooper, 173 Vt. 1 (2001), neither spouse owns a separable share of entireties property that can be disposed of without the other's joinder. Under 15 V.S.A. § 1204, parties to a civil union have the same property benefits and protections as spouses, including eligibility to hold property as tenants by the entirety. Both assignors joining in a single recorded instrument is the pattern those rules produce, and it is the pattern this mortgage assignment form recites.
A transfer the town records can follow
Vermont records land instruments by town or city rather than by county, and 24 V.S.A. § 1158 directs that an assignment of a mortgage be duly recorded in the records of the town. The recorded assignment is also what keeps the discharge chain intact: the same section lets the assignee of a mortgage discharge it on the margin of the mortgage record, and 27 V.S.A. § 464 has the mortgagee of record deliver, with the discharge, any instrument necessary to establish record ownership of the mortgage. A mortgage holder whose assignment never reached the land records is the gap those statutes describe. The statewide recording fee is $15.00 per page under 32 V.S.A. § 1671, and an ordinary assignment of mortgage is presented without a Vermont property transfer tax return, which the Department of Taxes instructions reserve for deeds and other documents transferring title.
What the form recites
The form identifies each assignor by name and mailing address, states the relationship between them in their own words, and names the assignee. A dedicated section identifies the mortgage being assigned by its mortgagors, original mortgagees, date, book and page recording reference, and original principal, and a property section carries the town, county, legal description, and street address, so the clerk can tie the assignment to the recorded mortgage. The operative section assigns, transfers, and sets over the mortgage together with the obligation it secures, and recites that the assignors hold the mortgagee's interest together, are the holders of record, and have not previously assigned or discharged the mortgage. An additional provisions section accepts negotiated terms such as a without-recourse statement. The form is not set up as a single-holder assignment or an entity assignment; it recites two individual assignors in a marriage or civil union with each other.
Executed like a Vermont conveyance
Vermont is a title theory state, and an assignment of the mortgagee's interest is executed with conveyance formalities: each assignor signs and acknowledges before a notary public under 27 V.S.A. § 341, and under 27 V.S.A. § 342 an unrecorded conveyance holds only against the grantor and the grantor's heirs. The two acknowledgment certificates let the assignors appear on different dates, before different notaries, or in different states, and printed name lines under the signatures serve the name-under-signature provision of 32 V.S.A. § 1405.
The download includes the fillable assignment of mortgage form, a completed example showing a seller-financed Middlebury mortgage assigned by a married couple, and a guide that walks through each section, the notarization formalities, and recording with the Vermont town clerk. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

I would absolutely use this service again. It was very convenient and I was pleasantly surprised at how responsive the staff was letting me know updates to my recording package. Also, my documents recorded immediately. I did have trouble uploading my document in the beginning because I didn't realize it had to be a pdf file. Once I figured that out, it was immediately accepted. Great service!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for the prompt instructions on the download and installation. The only problem I had was trying to input data into the form once I renamed the form.and saved it. I was unable to change the size of the font and was very frustrated. In the end I finally had to redo the entire form through Word using your format.
Thank you!

Best Way EVER to record a warranty deed! It was nice to not have to drive anywhere and find the facility closed or "unable to process due to covid19 and buildings being closed". The correspondence between me and deeds.com was very timely in our back and forth email correspondence, and the processing was all finished in a timely manner. Totally worth the extra $15 that I paid in addition to the recording fee. I would use this again and again. My time and the efficiency of the job completed is worth the money.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Excellent find (Deeds.com) from a google search, first hit. This was exactly what we were looking for. It also got me to upgrade Adobe to be able to fill in the forms. Will be back for follow up as needed, but I think I got everything we needed in the first downloads. Appreciate a well done site like yours. Thanks John
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The deed is presently at the auditors office and will be recorded after approval from zoning board. As far as I know, everything is going along well. A self addressed envelope was left at recorder's office for return after recording is complete.
Thank you!

Five star rating. I requested a copy of the deed to my house and it arrived very quickly and for a fraction of the cost that it would have cost me on other sites. Great company. Will do business again. Five stars.
