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.

The forms were immediately available for download, which was nice. However, I was not impressed by the lack of several features: 1) there was no way to edit set text in the form, such as where it says you should consult an attorney. That is not necessary for recording the deed and I wanted to deleted it, but could not. 2) Also, under the "Notes" section, there is a limited area to write; I tried adding a fuller explanation of something, but the form would not accept or include it when I printed the final document. The form may do the job, but it's not very sophisticated or elegant.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Well, When I got the question right I got the answers right from Claim Deed. In the end it all worked out very, very good. I'm pleased with the deed and the price was very fair. Thank you for answering all my crazy questions. Now all we have to do is go to UPS and sign it. Thank, again.
Thank you!

Communication is hard. The reps need to be empowered and encouraged to call the customers when necessary. They encourage 300 dpi resolution and under 2 MB PDF file, which is not even possible with our scanner. They made a vague comment about a legal description looking abbreviated but did not explain. They refused to call me. They said the county said "Image is light please darken", but the image looked fine to me. Maybe not their fault, but they refused to help work with the county on that for me. I followed their suggestion though and re-scanned at 300 dpi, but they misunderstood me and did not re-submit it right away. Over 48 hours later, it's still not recorded yet. I hope it will be today.
Thank you for your feedback Todd.

I was very happy with my interaction. The county didn't supply the book and page which was what I needed. The tech refunded my money since I didn't get the info I needed. I will use Deeds.com again.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It was easy to download. And your guide was informative as was the completed form for an example. But I wish that I had been able to edit the forms online and then print. My handwritten info is just not as crisp.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This site was recommended by my County's Clerks office website. Let me tell you when I received my specific State and County's Quit Claim Deed forms from Deeds.com, every conceivable form that could be needed in addition to the full instructions, and a sample filled out form, I was impressed (five stars) and made things so easy for me to feel confident in my legal activity on a land transaction.
Thank you for your positive words! We’re thrilled to hear about your experience.

Extremely helpful team of professionals who are patient when you need to get things filed correctly. Very small price for the comfort of knowing your DOCUMENTS are FILED with you local Recorder's Office. Some of the filings, if they are correctly formatted are already uploaded and official within a few hours. Here's the ALTERNATIVE you may encounter. For Example: King County Recorder's Office moved which means most filings are backed up 7-10 days if you DROP your filing in a BOX with your CHECK or MAIL IT. Neither is a great option, since they have no WALK IN HOURS.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
