New Massachusetts Recorded Document Formatting Standards Postponed

You may have heard that the Massachusetts Registers of Deeds Association voted to delay the implementation of the new recorded document formatting standards for one year. The new standards were to have taken effect January 1, 2007.

One of the reasons for the delay was that the new standards for margins (three inches on the top of the first page and one inch for all other margins) would have made it difficult to use current forms. While Standard Solutions was in the process of reformatting documents to meet the new standards, we too have concerns about the impact of the new rules (particularly on our practice of making our forms emulate as closely as possible the published Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac originals).

The Registers appear to be open to industry input on these kinds of issues and Standard Solutions will be making its concerns known. If you have any comments for us on this issue, please call or write to Ken Foster.

Early sign-up discount deadline approaching for Year-End Processing

This Thursday, November 30th, is the early sign-up discount deadline for our Year-End Processing Service.

Standard Solutions' 1099-S Year-End Processing (YEP) Service uses the data contained in your Standard Conveyancer to prepare your year-end 1099-S filing. Electronic filing is mandatory if you need to file 250 or more forms, and optional for smaller filings.

For most of our clients, the chief benefit of using our YEP service is the savings realized over time-consuming and labor-expensive paper filings.

If you haven't already, please take a moment to review the information on our Year-End Processing Service. If you are familiar with our YEP service from past years, you can go right to the deadline and early sign-up discount information to sign up for this year.
