Introduced Text

Massachusetts H1901 aims to protect real estate titles by clarifying mortgage documentation and enforcement.

Massachusetts H1901 seeks to protect real estate titles by amending various sections of the General Laws. It mandates that mortgage statements include specific details such as the amount due, loan balance, and contact information for the mortgagee, note owner, and servicer. The bill also requires mortgagees to notify municipalities when taking possession of a property. It imposes penalties for false or fraudulent documents used in foreclosure or larceny cases, including restitution to victims.
