PAYOFF TRACKING SERVICES

DOCUMENT RESEARCH, LLC will track and record your mortgage discharges, saving you precious time and resources. It only takes a few simple steps. You make the payoff; we do the rest.

1. Add the following sentence to the payoff letter you usually use:

   Please forward a properly executed mortgage discharge to
   (your firm's name) c/o DOCUMENT RESEARCH, LLC,
   11 Chestnut Street, Andover, MA 01810.

2. Fax, mail or email (whichever is most convenient for you) to us a copy of the following documents:

   a. 1st (and 2nd & 3rd , if necessary) page of original mortgage showing
      grantor, grantee, origination date, dollar amount and recording
      information
   b. Subsequent assignments, if any;
   c. Payoff statement from lender;
   d. Payoff letter and payoff check from your office.

Please indicate any special circumstances we may need to know in order to better track your discharge.

Please tell us your office file name or reference number so that we may include it in our correspondence to you.

3. Send a check made payable to DOCUMENT RESEARCH, LLC for $35.00, per payoff (our service fee*) plus the appropriate recording fee(s).**

That's all you do. We will track, research and record a properly executed mortgage discharge on your behalf. In the beginning, you will receive a letter from us confirming receipt of your check and payoff information. In the end, we will provide you with a certified copy of the recorded discharge for your file. In between, you're not even thinking about this.

*   Please note that our service fee is due and payable with your initial correspondence. In the event that a lender records your discharge directly with the Registry of Deeds, our service fee will include obtaining a certified copy of the recorded document and checking its accuracy.

**   In the event that a lender records your discharge directly with the Registry of Deeds, we will request from you written direction as to where and to whom the recording fee(s) should be returned.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact us  .
