When a Vermont mortgage is held by an entity acting as trustee, the discharge that clears it from the town land records carries a different execution block than a discharge signed by an individual lender. This Vermont Discharge of Mortgage (Entity Trustee) prepares the separate-instrument discharge described in 27 V.S.A. Section 463 for exactly that holder: an entity, named in its trustee capacity, certifying satisfaction of the mortgage and signing through an authorized officer.
The statutory certification Vermont expects
Section 463 states the substance of a Vermont mortgage discharge by separate instrument: an acknowledgment of satisfaction, executed by the mortgagee or the mortgagee's assigns, substantially in the statutory form, certifying that the described mortgage is paid in full and satisfied and identifying the mortgagor, the mortgagee, the date of the mortgage, and the book, page, and town of its recording. The form carries that certification language and collects each statutory identification item in its own labeled blank, so the completed instrument reads the way the statute reads. Under Section 463(b), once the satisfaction is acknowledged before a notary public and recorded, it discharges the mortgage and bars actions brought on it.
The timing pressure behind the instrument comes from 27 V.S.A. Section 464: within 30 days after full performance of the mortgage conditions, the mortgagee of record executes and delivers a valid and complete discharge, together with any instrument necessary to establish record ownership and the authority to sign. A holder that misses the window faces statutory damages of $25.00 per day, up to $5,000.00 in the aggregate, plus consequential and punitive damages, costs, and attorney fees for an aggrieved party who substantially prevails.
An execution block built for a trustee
The form recites exactly one holder, an entity acting in a trustee capacity: a trust company named solely as trustee of a securitization trust, a bank holding a mortgage-backed pool, or a trustee holding a seller-financed note inside a family or business trust. The holder section states the entity's legal name, organizational form, and the trust for which it acts. The signature block carries the entity name and capacity on its own line, a signature line for the authorized signer, and printed name, title, and date entries beneath it, and the single acknowledgment certificate is completed in the representative capacity the Vermont short forms in 26 V.S.A. Section 5368 provide. A discharge signed by an individual mortgagee in a personal capacity, or an attorney's discharge affidavit under Section 464a, follows a different execution pattern than the entity-trustee configuration this form recites.
Because an entity trustee is often not the lender the mortgage originally named, the form gives the assignment chain its own section. Each recorded assignment through which the holder became mortgagee of record appears by parties, date, and recording reference, matching the Section 464(b) practice of establishing record ownership alongside the discharge, and letting a later title searcher read the chain and the discharge together.
Recorded with the town clerk, not a county recorder
Vermont records land instruments by town. The completed discharge goes to the clerk of the town whose land records hold the mortgage, at the statutory fee of $15.00 per page under 32 V.S.A. Section 1671. A discharge is not a transfer of title, so no Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return accompanies it. A mortgage recorded in more than one town presents a discharge recorded in each of those towns, and the guide walks through that detail along with the printed-name practice of 32 V.S.A. Section 1405.
Searches for this instrument also use the names satisfaction of mortgage, release of mortgage, and mortgage release; in Vermont the recorded separate instrument under Section 463 is the standard form of each.
The purchase delivers the blank discharge as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the entire instrument filled in for a realistic Vermont fact pattern, and a plain-language guide that walks through every section, the representative acknowledgment, and town recording. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

A coworker recommended this service to me and I was hesitant to try it. Turned out to be a life saver, they filed my document in 24 hours. No standing in line and no confusing government websites to navigate.
Thank you!

I downloaded the quit claim deed form and saved it on my computer. I opened it with Adobe and filled it out. The space for the legal description was too small (2 lines only) which did not allow enough room for the long property description that I had.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I was able to e-record 3 document with ease. The Middlesex registry of deeds is closed due to COVID-19 and this was my only option. Even if it was open, this is much faster and saves me time and money on parking ..etc. Great services.
Thank you!

Deeds.com had much better and fuller information than any other help i found (90% complete vs 60 % complete); they tout how up-to-date they are on all the counties in the country and the idiosyncrasies of each county's forms and procedures; but some minor points of the info i needed were missing or confusing. Including that they sold me on e-Recording my deed through them, only to find out after i had done all the prep for that, that they had failed to tell me upfront (or i missed it somehow) that the county i was dealing with did not yet accept online recording. So, they were by far the best i found, but not 100%.
Thank you for your honest and thorough feedback Trace. We will review your concerns carefully in an effort to improve our services. Hope you have an amazing day.

I found your instructions and sample for completing a quit-claim deed in Arizona to be simple and easy to follow with one exception. The website to use in order to determine the code for the reason for exemption of fees was incorrect, as a result of which I had to contact the County Recorder to obtain that information.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It just a little disconcerting that I was not able to preview any of the forms prior to purchasing them. Thank goodness they were the correct forms I needed. I would suggest being able to at least make the picture of the forms a little larger or give the capability to zoom in.
Thank you!

Review: There are 10 PDFs in this warranty deed package. I don't even know what to do with them all. I don't think the directions are clear enough on how to put it all together. I probably won't use it, and feel I have wasted my money.
Sorry to hear that the volume of documents required to complete your task was more than you anticipated. It is rare that we get complaints about providing everything needed. We certainly don't want you to be overwhelmed or feel like you have wasted your money. Your order and payment has been canceled and we do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

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.
