Document the Loan

All Caregiver Mortgages ® have three crucial components:

Promissory Note: The Promissory Note establishes the legal debt between the parties and records how the debt is going to be repaid.

Joint Lender Agreement In the event your loan includes multiple Lenders (households), this agreement will document the individual rights and credit-line of each Lender. The individual household credit-lines collectively comprise the total loan amount.

Mortgage / Deed of Trust / Security Deed: This is the legal security instrument through which your Borrower offers their property as collateral to you in exchange for the loan.

Within seven business days of submitting your online Setup Form, we will email your comprehensive loan documents for your review and approval. The documents will also include an open lien search and an electronic valuation of the Borrower’s property.

Register the Loan

After you have reviewed and approved your loan documents, the documents are emailed to the Borrower’s closing attorney. The closing attorney will oversee the execution and government recording of your Family Mortgage.

State laws in over half of the country legally require local attorney participation when closing a loan secured by real estate. As an ever increasing number of states move towards this legal standard, we follow this protocol with every National Family Mortgage ® transaction.

Additionally, your local attorney’s involvement will help minimize liabilities for all parties, and further ensure a successful arrangement for everyone.

Attorney’s fees vary widely depending on experience, expertise, and scope of services.

Please note, in addition to National Family Mortgage’s ® one-time fee for service, the following states requires a mortgage tax must be paid at the time of local government recording:

Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Tennessee, Virginia.

Please be sure to review our Family Mortgage Guide for estimated state tax rates.

It is the client’s responsibility to pay this additional tax. The tax will be collected by the Borrower’s closing attorney.

You will make any initial loan disbursement directly to the closing attorney’s client escrow account. Future disbursements will be made either directly to your Borrower, or to any appropriate third party on your Borrower’s behalf.
