Document Updates: Assignment of Mortgage From MERS (Multiple Documents)

Dec 6, 2019

Topics: Document Updates

After a recent compliance review, we are updating our “From MERS” Assignments to better match the appropriate terminology to refer to the Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS) in the Assignment text.

The example Assignment language from the MERS Systems Procedures Manual is as follows:

  • Mortgage – Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., as mortgagee, as nominee for [Lender], its successors and assigns.
  • Deed of Trust – Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., as beneficiary, as nominee for [Lender], its successors and assigns.
  • Security Deed – Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., as grantee, as nominee for [Lender], its successors and assigns.

Our generic “From MERS” Assignments are being updated to match the above MERS guidelines.

These changes will be in effect on December 12, 2019.  If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, please contact Client Support at 1.800.497.3584.
