Full Trust Deed Reconveyance Oregon Form

Assignments Generally: Lenders, or holders of mortgages or  deeds of trust, often assign mortgages or deeds of trust to other lenders, or  third parties.  When this is done the assignee (person who received the  assignment) steps into the place of the original lender or assignor.  To  effectuate an assignment, the general rules is that the assignment must be in  proper written format and recorded to provide notice of the assignment.
Satisfactions Generally: Once a mortgage or deed of trust  is paid, the holder of the mortgage is required to satisfy the mortgage or deed  of trust of record to show that the mortgage or deed of trust is no longer a  lien on the property. The general rule is that the satisfaction must be in  proper written format and recorded to provide notice of the satisfaction.  If  the lender fails to record a satisfaction within set time limits, the lender may  be responsible for damages set by statute for failure to timely cancel the lien.  Depending on your state, a satisfaction may be called a Satisfaction,  Cancellation, or Reconveyance.  Some states still recognize marginal  satisfaction but this is slowly being phased out.  A marginal satisfaction is  where the holder of the mortgage physically goes to the recording office and  enters a satisfaction on the face of the the recorded mortgage, which is  attested by the clerk.
