AI Summary
This bill aims to provide remedies to consumers for clearing titles after the payoff of mortgages. It amends Chapter 260 of the General Laws to establish a timeline for the discharge of mortgages after payoff. Specifically, it states that a power of sale in any mortgage of real estate shall not be exercised, and no entry, possession, or foreclosure proceedings shall be taken, after payoff and the expiration of 35 years from the recording of the mortgage (or 5 years from the expiration of the term or maturity date if the mortgage term is stated). The bill also outlines the process for marking a mortgage as discharged on the relevant memorandum of encumbrances for registered land after the specified time period has elapsed.
