I have sold a piece of property and I am going to hold a mortgage. How can I record this mortgage in probate court? My state is Alabama.
Optional Information: State/Country relating to question: Alabama Already Tried: I tried looking on LegalForms.com but found nothing that looked like it related.
Welcome! My goal is to do my very best to understand your situation and to provide a full and complete answer for you.
Good morning. Your lien securing the promissory note will be evidenced by a Mortgage document. Are you looking for a form for the Mortgage document or are you wondering how to record the Mortgage document?
I need both. A form for the mortgage document and how to record it. The county the property is located in is Cherokee.
Ok...You will record it not in the probate records, but in the real property records of Cherokee County. You will do so by taking it to the county courthouse and asking the recording clerk to have it recorded. I have provided a template for you below for the Mortgage.....
