Questions answered? Let's get started!
One individual lender holds the mortgage of record, and one signature moves it. This Vermont assignment of mortgage is set up for a single individual assignor: the natural person named as mortgagee on a mortgage recorded in a Vermont town's land records, or as the current holder under a recorded chain of assignments, transferring that mortgage and the note it secures to a new holder.
One individual holder of record
The form recites one assignor acting in an individual capacity, carries one signature line, and closes with a single acknowledgment certificate completed by the notary. Its operative clause makes an absolute assignment: for value received, the assignor grants, assigns, transfers, and sets over the identified mortgage together with the promissory note or other obligation it secures and all sums due or to become due under it. A seller who financed a buyer and took back a mortgage at closing, a family lender secured by Vermont real estate, and an individual who purchased a private note and mortgage present the pattern this form recites. A bank, company, or trustee assigning a mortgage signs through an officer or fiduciary with a representative acknowledgment, a configuration this form is not set up as; the form's signature block and certificate are individual.
A mortgage that moves like a deed
Vermont is a title theory state, where a mortgage conveys legal title to the mortgagee subject to the borrower's right to redeem, so Vermont title practice treats an outright mortgage assignment as a conveyance of an interest in land. The form follows the conveyance formalities of 27 V.S.A. Section 341(a): the assignor signs, acknowledges before a notary public, and records the instrument in the town clerk's office. Under 27 V.S.A. Section 342, an unacknowledged or unrecorded conveyance is not effectual against anyone but the grantor and the grantor's heirs, which is why the acknowledgment certificate and the recording step carry as much weight here as they do on a deed.
Recorded by town and cross-referenced to the mortgage
Vermont records land instruments through its town and city clerks rather than a county recorder, and the assignment is recorded where the mortgage is recorded. 24 V.S.A. Section 1158 directs that an assignment of a mortgage be duly recorded in the records of the town and that the record carry a marginal cross-reference tying the assignment to the book and page of the mortgage it transfers. The form's mortgage-identification section collects exactly what that notation needs: the mortgagors, the original mortgagee, the mortgage date, the volume and page or document number in the town land records, and any prior assignments of record. The statewide recording fee is 15 dollars per page under 32 V.S.A. Section 1671, and no Vermont property transfer tax return accompanies a mortgage assignment; the Department of Taxes treats assignments and discharges as outside the return-filing category that applies to deeds transferring title.
The record chain behind every payoff
The recorded assignment is what places the new holder in the mortgage's chain of title, and that chain does real work at payoff. Under 27 V.S.A. Section 464(b), the mortgagee of record must execute and deliver a complete discharge within 30 days after the loan is paid, together with any instrument necessary to establish record ownership of the mortgage, on pain of statutory damages. An assignment left unrecorded leaves the assignor as the record holder, the person the discharge statutes and any future closing point at; recording promptly keeps the town record aligned with who actually owns the loan. The guide included with the form walks through the discharge framework, the recording mechanics, and every blank on the instrument.
What the package prepares
The package contains the blank assignment as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the entire instrument filled in for a realistic Chittenden County fact pattern, and a plain-language guide covering each section, the signing formalities, and the town recording process. The materials describe Vermont law and the form in general terms and are not legal advice; a Vermont attorney can apply these rules to a specific loan or title.

Sarah K. 1 out of 5 stars
I was annoyed when I realized I couldn't put the document into Word or WordPerfect. I had to retype the entire document. What a waste of time and money.
Sorry to hear of your annoyance. We have canceled your order and payment. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

Easy to use, I would recommend deeds.com. I would recommend visiting your county recorder before having document notarized. They will review document and make sure everything you need is on the deed, before having notarized.
Thank you Debbie. Have a fantastic day!

Randy T. 5 out of 5 stars
I gave your site and forms 5 stars because it is very easy to use and included all the information needed to complete the form without having had a legal background.
Thank you Randy. Have a great day!
Linda H. 5 out of 5 stars
This was so easy to download, open the files and then complete the document on the computer then printing out. I waited to review this until we took it to Courthouse for the Recorder of Deeds and the legal task is now done. An attorney would probably have charge $300. This is a real deal packet!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Linda. It’s great to hear the documents were easy to complete and accepted by the recorder with no issues.

I received what I requested. Then I didn't need it after all.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
Griselle M. 5 out of 5 stars
Great service - it was my first time using the service and really recommend it. Due to COVID-19, my County Recorder's Office is closed and I was able to create the document using their vast templates, notarize it, and upload it into the system. The recording process took about 7 working days which is not bad considering that most people are working remotely. I will share this website and its many resources with my relatives and friends.
Thank you Griselle, glad we could help.
Toni M. 5 out of 5 stars
I liked having the forms. Some may need to know they can look at the legal Description from online county records, then type up in Word document line by line, the degree sign in Word program is achieved by using alt and 248 on number pad. Then on the form page one write SEE Exibit A and title your Word program description as Exibit A. Goes without saying the legal description should be looked over many times and it is easier to do so if you format your Word the same lineage as the legal description online which is usually not text which is why you have to retype it.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
