What this form is
Owners use this form to ask Bedford to treat listed parcels as a single tract for all purposes. It identifies the parcels and their title references, records the owners’ certification, and includes a section for mortgagee consent. The form states that a copy must be recorded at the Hillsborough County Registry of Deeds for the merger to take effect, and it provides space for Planning Board endorsement.
Who needs it
Owners seeking to merge commonly owned Bedford parcels should complete the notice, and mortgage holders with interests in those parcels can record their consent on the form.
Why it needs a notary
The owner’s signature accompanies an acknowledgment before a notary public or Justice of the Peace; the form does not provide a separate notarial block for mortgagee signatures.
