40. Mortgages and Assignments: Addresses

(May 1, 2000)

Every mortgage and assignment of mortgage presented for record shall contain or have endorsed on it the residence and post office address of the mortgagee or assignee, if said mortgagee or assignee is a natural person, or a business address of said mortgagee or assignee if not a natural person. G.L. c. 183, § 6C. The endorsement shall be recorded as part of the mortgage or assignment. However, while failure to comply will not affect the validity of any mortgage or assignment, no Register of Deeds shall accept a mortgage or assignment unless it is in compliance with these requirements.
