Questions answered? Let's get started!
A recorded mortgage does not end with the lender's life. When the individual who held a mortgage on Vermont real property dies, the mortgage stays on the town land records as an open encumbrance until a discharge enters the record, and the signature that clears it comes from the estate: 27 V.S.A. § 463 names the mortgagee's executor and administrator among those who may execute the statutory acknowledgment of satisfaction. This Vermont Discharge of Mortgage (Personal Representative) form is arranged for exactly that signature, a court-appointed executor or administrator discharging a mortgage the deceased lender held. Customers sometimes search for the same instrument as a satisfaction of mortgage, a mortgage release, or a mortgage lien release signed by an estate.
A discharge signed for the lender's estate
The form carries one fiduciary signer and one acknowledgment certificate. A dedicated section collects the estate details: the decedent's name as it appears on the recorded mortgage, the date of death, the fiduciary capacity, the Probate Division unit, the case number, and the date the letters issued, so the recorded instrument shows on its face who signed and under what authority. The operative section then states that the personal representative acts in that fiduciary capacity and not individually, acknowledges satisfaction of the secured debt, and discharges and releases the mortgage together with all interest in the mortgaged premises held by virtue of it.
The pattern that presents this configuration most often is seller financing. An owner sold Vermont property, took back a mortgage from the buyer, and died while the mortgage remained of record; in many files the payoff finished years earlier and no discharge was ever recorded. The borrower's title stays clouded either way, and the personal representative of the mortgagee's estate holds the statutory authority to clear it. A living mortgagee signing personally, a bank acting through an officer, and co-executors signing together each present a different signing configuration; this form recites a single personal representative.
The certification the statute prescribes
27 V.S.A. § 463 supplies the language: an acknowledgment of satisfaction 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, the book and page where it is recorded, and the town whose land records hold it. The form carries that certification with a blank at each element the statute leaves open, completed to mirror the recorded mortgage so the discharge indexes against the instrument it terminates. Under § 463(b), a satisfaction acknowledged before a town clerk, notary public, master, county clerk, or judge or register of probate, and recorded, discharges the mortgage and bars actions brought on it. An optional section identifies any recorded assignment of the mortgage, the chain 27 V.S.A. § 464(b) points to when it calls for any instrument necessary to show record ownership of the mortgage and authority to execute the discharge.
Thirty days, and a town-by-town record
Vermont gives the discharge duty teeth. Within 30 days after full performance of the conditions of the mortgage, 27 V.S.A. § 464 requires execution and delivery of a valid and complete discharge, and it attaches statutory damages of $25.00 per day, up to $5,000.00 in the aggregate, for a discharge withheld past that window, along with consequential damages, punitive damages, court costs, and attorney's fees for an aggrieved party who substantially prevails. An estate that resolves the discharge promptly closes that exposure.
Recording is municipal. Vermont keeps land records town by town, with no county recording system, so the completed discharge goes to the town or city clerk of the town named in the certification, and a mortgage recorded in more than one town is discharged in each of them. The statewide recording fee is $15.00 per page under 32 V.S.A. § 1671(a), and no property transfer tax return accompanies a discharge, because the Vermont Department of Taxes places discharges outside the Form PTT-172 filing category.

I purchased the Notice of Completion form because the City of Chula Vista did not have a "fillable" version of this form on their website. The Deeds.com version of this form is somewhat different than the City's version (8 numbered paragraphs vs. 11 numbered paragraphs.) However, it contains the same information in a different format. This form provided more blank space to fill in important items- like a long ownership name- than the version on the City's website. The recorder's office was satisfied with this form as I hand-delivered it to the Recorder's Office and they approved it for recording. Overall, I found this form easy to use and found the extra blank space for writing on the form helpful. My one comment for possible improvement is: it would be even more helpful (particularly for attorney users) to have strike-out capability. I would have liked having the ability to strike-out inapplicable portions of long awkward sentences. Still, I would use this form again.
Your feedback means a lot to us. Thank you.
