This mortgage includes a power of sale clause and waiver of rights, saving time and expense in the case of a foreclosure.
Waiver of Rights. This Mortgage contains a power of sale that permits the Mortgagee/Lender to cause the Premises to be sold in the event of a default. Mortgagee/Lender may elect to cause the Premises to be sold by advertisement rather than pursuant to court action, and Mortgagor/Borrower voluntarily and knowingly waives any right Mortgagor/Borrower may have by virtue of any applicable constitutional provision or statute to any notice or court hearing before the exercise required by the Michigan statute governing foreclosures by advertisement.
In the event of default in any of the terms or covenants of this Mortgage, Mortgagee/Lender shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of MCL 554.231-.233, MSA 26.1137(1)-(3), and 1966 PA 151.

Use this mortgage to finance residential property, small commercial, condominiums, rental property, and planned unit developments even with an existing first mortgage on the subject property. A mortgage and promissory note that include stringent default terms can be beneficial to the Mortgagee/Lender.

Included is an annual accounting statement form
565.161 Annual statements to mortgagor; when required, contents.
Sec. 1.
Where, by the terms of a mortgage on real property, the mortgagor is required to make periodic payments which include sums to be allocated to an escrow account for the purpose of paying taxes, insurance or improvements to the property, or any combination of such purposes, the mortgagee or agent receiving the periodic payments shall furnish the mortgagor with a statement within 60 days of the close of the calendar year, showing the beginning balance of the escrow fund, total receipts received by the fund during the calendar year, an itemized statement of all expenditures from the fund during the calendar year and the balance in the fund at the end of the calendar year.

My first time using it; very fast service. I am an estate planning attorney (44 years). None of my old title company contacts are around anymore to provide deed copies, so this is a great source. I will be using it again.

Forms are fine, but the inability to download a completed form is not. Nor is the ability to convert to another format. Everytime I went to download, the form erased. I didn't have a printer available, so everything I did was to waste.

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback Duncan. The blank forms should be downloaded first and then completed on your computer.

Nice site, easy to maneuver around, and walks you thru completing forms. However, at the end, the forms listed poorly explained. It would be helpful to have better explanations of the forms so people know which forms they really need to download.

The NV Clark County deed upon death was perfect! Our county doesn't offer a template, but rather has a long list of rules and specifications where they expect you to make your own document. I didnt want to risk making an unacceptable form so I purchased the template from Deeds.com. It was easy to use and very thorough. Our deed upon death was notarized and filed with the county with no issue. Save yourselves the time and headache and get the template!
