Questions answered? Let's get started!
This mortgage deed is built around a Vermont property owner that is a business entity: one LLC, corporation, or partnership as mortgagor, one authorized representative's signature, and one representative capacity notary certificate. It secures a promissory note or other obligation against Vermont real estate and records in the land records of the town or city where the property lies.
A Conveyance With a Condition Attached
Vermont is a title theory state, and its mortgage instrument shows it. Rather than a lien rider stapled to a loan, a Vermont mortgage deed is a conveyance: the mortgagor grants the property to the mortgagee, to have and to hold as security, subject to the traditional condition that full payment and performance of the secured obligation voids the deed. This form carries that architecture in its own words, with express title covenants, a defeasance condition citing the discharge statutes, and a reference to the mortgagee's statutory remedies. When the loan pays off, Vermont law puts a deadline on clearing the record: 27 V.S.A. 464 gives the mortgagee 30 days after full performance to execute and deliver a discharge, with statutory damages of $25.00 per day, up to $5,000.00, for a mortgagee that does not.
One Entity, One Authorized Signature
The signature architecture is what makes the entity version its own instrument. The form recites exactly one entity mortgagor and identifies it the way lenders and town clerks expect: exact legal name, entity type, state of organization, and principal office. The signature block names the entity, then carries a By line for the authorized representative, with printed name and title or capacity beneath it, and the acknowledgment certificate's name line carries the representative capacity in the statutory style of 26 V.S.A. 5368(2): a named individual, as manager or officer, on behalf of the company. Because the record owner is an entity rather than a married individual, Vermont's homestead joinder statute has no signature role here, and the form carries no spousal signature line. An individual owner mortgaging personally held property presents a different signature and acknowledgment pattern; this form does not recite it.
Remedies That Turn on Who Owns the Property
Vermont foreclosure law draws a line that matters to entity owned real estate. Judicial foreclosure under 12 V.S.A. chapter 172 includes strict foreclosure, available only where the court finds no substantial equity beyond the debt, and foreclosure by judicial sale. Nonjudicial foreclosure under 12 V.S.A. 4961 is available, whether or not the mortgage contains a power of sale clause, for any property except farmland or a dwelling house owned by a natural person. Property held by an LLC or corporation is not a dwelling house owned by a natural person, so the nonjudicial path can reach entity owned property that is not farmland, following the statutory notice of intent to foreclose. The guide describes each path with its citations.
Recorded With the Town Clerk, Without a Transfer Tax Return
Vermont records land instruments by municipality, so this deed goes to the clerk of the town or city where the land lies, at the statewide fee of $15.00 per page under 32 V.S.A. 1671(a). Recording is what gives the mortgage effect against third parties: under 27 V.S.A. 342, an unacknowledged or unrecorded mortgage holds the estate only against the grantor and the grantor's heirs. One welcome simplification distinguishes a mortgage from a conveyance of title: the Vermont property transfer tax return, Form PTT-172, is not filed with a mortgage deed, because the Department of Taxes excludes security instruments from the return filing category. The recording package is the deed and the fee.
What the Download Contains

My questions were answered promptly. I was not able to locate the deed I was searching for because my county has not uploaded the documents to be accessed through this system. I am sure I could have found what I was looking for had the information been available through the system. Thank you for your assistance.
Thank you!

Thank you Frank.

I didn't have any problem downloading and filling out the form on my computer and printing it yesterday. I didn't know what to put for "Source of Title". I called the county recording office; they didn't know either and said to leave it blank. I got the form notarized at my bank and took it in to the recording office. They checked it, accepted it, I paid a fee, and it's done. So easy. My children will appreciate that I've done this. Added note: You do have one typo on your form--you left out 'at'. It should read: "You should carefully read all information at the end of this form."
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I am still in the trial stage. I am an older lawyer. Any help I can get is worth it. Once you get used to the format and data fill in the deed thing is excellent. Very professional if not a little slow. I have only done three deeds in one state so I will have to see how it goes. I like the product and their attitude towards pleasing the customer. We'll see when I try the recording part.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

This does the job but we are not able to save this in our account and if you don't pay for Adobe and only have Adobe reader, I cannot save any information on the form online in my account. I do understand why they do this because they would lose money. A huge issue is that when I got to the end of the document and was adding an Exhibit A, as I typed, the page kept jumping back up the to top and I couldn't see what I was typing. I had to type a little then scroll back down and when I would type more, it would jump up again. This was a real problem.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Poor communication. Confusing charges. (Waiting for explanation) overall, not thrilled and at this point would not recommend.
Sorry to hear of your confusion. We've gone ahead and canceled your order. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

Providing .doc versions would be much easier than trying to jam information into a non-editable PDF.

My sale is a land contract and it is complicated. We were thinking we'd have to get an attorney. Your site is very thorough and helpful. We will still have an attorney look over our final papers --and we are still waiting on my deed from the bank to finalize our input. Had several questions, but they seemed to be answered as I went along. The actual process of downloading and saving and having a link went very smoothly. Thank you.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
