Drafting residential mortgages and deeds of trust manually requires meticulous attention to statutory requirements, uniform covenants, and jurisdiction-specific language. Attorneys spend hours cross-referencing standard forms, customizing clauses for each transaction, and ensuring compliance with state lending laws—all while managing tight closing deadlines.

The platform selects the correct instrument type, incorporates state-specific foreclosure provisions, and includes all necessary covenants, riders, and compliance language ready for execution and recording.
This workflow is applicable across multiple practice areas and use cases
Mortgages and deeds of trust are fundamental security instruments in all residential lending transactions, securing promissory notes and protecting lender interests.
This workflow directly supports loan and financing practice by automating the creation of essential security documents that accompany virtually every residential loan transaction.
Financial institutions and regulated lenders require compliant mortgage documentation that meets federal and state lending regulations, including uniform covenant requirements.
Banks and financial services entities must ensure their mortgage documents comply with regulatory requirements, making automated generation with built-in compliance features highly valuable.
Real estate litigators handling foreclosure proceedings and mortgage disputes need to review, analyze, and draft mortgages and deeds of trust as part of enforcement actions.
Understanding and drafting these security instruments is essential for attorneys handling foreclosure litigation, lien priority disputes, and mortgage enforcement cases.
Commercial real estate attorneys handling mixed-use properties or residential components of larger developments need residential mortgage documentation for financing structures.
While focused on commercial transactions, these attorneys often encounter residential financing components in multi-family properties, condominiums, and mixed-use developments requiring residential mortgage instruments.
A mortgage creates a lien on property while the borrower retains legal title, requiring judicial foreclosure through court proceedings in most cases. A deed of trust transfers legal title to a neutral trustee who holds it for the lender's benefit, allowing non-judicial foreclosure through power of sale without court involvement. CaseMark automatically selects the appropriate instrument based on your property's jurisdiction and includes the correct foreclosure provisions.
Essential covenants include payment obligations, property tax and insurance escrow requirements, hazard insurance maintenance, property preservation and repair, occupancy requirements for owner-occupied properties, and due-on-sale restrictions. CaseMark generates all uniform covenants required to protect the lender's security interest while ensuring compliance with federal consumer protection laws and state-specific requirements.
CaseMark analyzes the property location from your title documents and applies the correct state law provisions for granting language, foreclosure procedures, notice requirements, and acknowledgment formats. The platform incorporates state-specific statutory references, redemption rights, deficiency judgment rules, and recording requirements to ensure your security instrument is enforceable in the applicable jurisdiction.
