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.

Was looking for information and forms relating to a trust my parents created, but what I purchased seems geared toward trusts containing real estate only, which is not what I needed. Clearly I missed something prior to purchasing something I can not use. Perhaps additional clarification for us without any experience is this area would be helpful.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

TODD Form would not print surveyor degrees character (superscript "o") in Exhibit A. It also would not print the "Return Address" or "Prepared By" entries with my middle name as your example showed.

The process for receiving the quitclaim document worked well. I couldn't use the document. If I had been able to view the document before I had to pay for it, I would have known, but that isn't how your process works. However, that's the only snag I found. Otherwise the process for paying and downloading the document worked well. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback Beverly. We certainly do not want you to pay for something you are unable to use. To that end we have canceled your order and refunded your payment. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs. Have a wonderful day.

From Pennsylvania here. Documents are great and easy to fill out however you are lacking a couple of things. You only provide the option for a Grant Deed when you purchase by your county which is Mercer County for me. Why not give the ability to get a Warranty Deed that better protects the Grantee? Also, being from Pennsylvania and in a county that mined Buituminous Coal we are required to include the Coal Severance Notice and Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act Notice. You can check the box on your Deed form that they are required and attached but you do not provide the verbiage or form for this. You state that you know what each county requires and include everything required but you do not include these two required Notices. This has been a requirement for years and the wording never changes. I had to look for these Notices and hand type this information and include it on another seperate page after the Notary section on the Deed. The Grantor has to sign the Coal Severance Notice and be witnessed by a Notary so I had to add another place for the Notary and will have to pay twice for witnessed signatures when it could have been included in your document. My Deed from 2003 was done that way and then the Notary statement after that so it was only one notarized witness of signature.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
