Questions answered? Let's get started!
When two people hold a Vermont mortgage together, the instrument that ends it carries two signatures. This Vermont Discharge of Mortgage is built for that exact record: a mortgage held by two individual mortgagees, both certifying that the loan is paid in full and satisfied. The form is the separate discharge instrument described in 27 V.S.A. section 463, executed by both holders, acknowledged before a notary public, and recorded with the clerk of the Vermont town or city where the mortgage sits in the land records.
Two lenders on the record, two signatures on the discharge
The form recites exactly two mortgagees, each a natural person signing in an individual capacity. That pattern appears throughout Vermont land records: a couple who sold property and took back a purchase-money mortgage from the buyer, family members who financed a relative's home, or two co-lenders who funded a private loan secured by Vermont real estate. The form collects both holders' names and mailing addresses, the mortgagor's name, and the identifying details of the mortgage: its date, its book and page, and the town or city whose land records hold it. Both holders sign, and each signature carries its own acknowledgment certificate, so the two can sign on different dates, in different states, or before different notaries. A mortgage held by a single individual, by a bank or other entity, or by a deceased holder's estate presents a different signing pattern than the two-holder configuration this form recites.
What a recorded satisfaction does under Vermont law
Vermont statute prescribes the certification itself. Section 463 provides that a mortgage may be discharged by an acknowledgment of satisfaction substantially in a short 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 and page of the town land records where it is recorded. The statute then states the consequence: when the satisfaction is acknowledged before a notary public and recorded, it discharges the mortgage and bars actions brought on it. This form follows that prescribed certification, adapted to two holders, and the acknowledgment certificates and the recording step complete the statutory sequence.
A thirty day duty with a statutory price
A discharge is not a courtesy in Vermont; 27 V.S.A. section 464 sets deadlines around it. Within five business days after a written payoff request, the mortgagee provides a written payoff statement. Within 30 days after full performance of the conditions of the mortgage, the mortgagee of record must execute and deliver a valid and complete discharge, together with any instrument needed to establish record ownership of the mortgage and the authority to sign. A holder who misses the 30 day mark faces statutory damages of $25.00 per day up to an aggregate $5,000.00, and the statute adds consequential damages, punitive damages, court costs, and attorney's fees for an aggrieved party who substantially prevails. For two private lenders, a prompt and properly executed discharge closes the loan cleanly and keeps that exposure off the record.
Recorded with the town clerk, not a county
Vermont records land instruments town by town, with no county recording system. The discharge goes to the clerk of the town or city where the mortgage is recorded, at the statewide fee of $15.00 per page under 32 V.S.A. section 1671, and no Vermont property transfer tax return accompanies it, since that filing attaches to deeds and other documents transferring title. Printed names appear beneath the signature lines, matching the Vermont recording statute that lets a public official ask for typed, stamped, or printed names under signatures. A mortgage recorded in more than one town's land records presents a discharge in each town where it appears. Whether searched as a discharge of mortgage, a satisfaction of mortgage, or a mortgage release, the recorded instrument is what clears the title in the town records.

I was counting on deeds.com to help me with a closing I was working on. I stumbled with the instructions but when I recovered there were no problems. The instructions were helpful and the deeds etc. were just what I needed. I give deeds five stars. I am 76 years old and when the application asks for the user's name I always think they want my name. WRONG. I am trying to learn computer speak.
Thank you Alfred, have an amazing day!

Might be adequate if I was desperate. Formatting screams amateur hour -- not a legal issue but likely to invite closer scrutiny when filed. Instructions were supposed to be county-specific but directed me to call the recorder to ask them how to fill out part of the form. Not planning to use the form and would not purchase it again. I could probably do better by uploading some examples and the original mortgage from the Recorder's website into Claude along with the transaction-specific information and asking Claude to prepare a more professional release.
Aaron, we’re sorry the form and instructions did not meet your expectations. Your order has been canceled and your payment refunded. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best with preparing the release in the way that works best for your situation.
