Request Mortgage Assistance Form

Use a Request Mortgage Assistance template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What the Request Mortgage Assistance Form does

A Request Mortgage Assistance Form lets a homeowner or borrower present financial hardship and requested mortgage relief to a mortgage servicer for review. The completed record generally brings together borrower identification, property or loan information, income, expenses, hardship details, requested assistance, certifications, and signatures, although required fields vary by servicer. With signNow, upload the form, let the platform detect fillable fields, verify assignments, send it to the borrower or co-borrower, and retain the completed document with its audit trail.

Who benefits from this form

The Request Mortgage Assistance Form connects a borrower’s financial circumstances with the mortgage servicer’s review and decision process.

  • Individual homeowners use the form to present hardship information, income details, and requested relief to a mortgage servicer in one reviewable record.
  • Housing counselors use reusable signNow templates to guide borrowers through required fields, collect signatures, and preserve the completed package with its audit trail.
  • Mortgage servicing teams use role-based routing and shared records to coordinate borrower, co-borrower, counselor, and internal review steps without paper handoffs.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Challenges when completing the form

  • Borrowers may omit hardship explanations, income figures, expense details, or supporting attachments that a mortgage servicer needs for review.
  • A co-borrower may receive the wrong role, leaving required signature or authorization fields incomplete when the package is sent.
  • Consumer-facing signing without an ESIGN disclosure can weaken evidence of electronic-record consent and access to the completed form.
  • Uncontrolled copies can expose income, account, property, or hardship information beyond the people assigned to review the request.

Choose the right signing method

  1. Use the signNow web app when preparing the Request Mortgage Assistance Form, checking borrower entries, and sending a complete package from a desktop workflow.
  2. Use the signNow mobile app when borrowers need to review hardship information, add signatures, or return the form from an iOS or Android device.
  3. Use kiosk mode for supervised completion at a housing counselor, lender, or servicer location where staff guide the borrower without taking control of the signature.
  4. Create a shareable signing link when a servicer distributes the same Request Mortgage Assistance Form repeatedly and needs a controlled, reusable entry point.
