Assumption Deed

In real estate parlance, the party conveying property is called the grantor. The party receiving the property is the grantee. Either party can be an individual, a business entity, or a partnership. The contract between the grantor and grantee establishes the terms of transfer between the parties.

A Release of Deed of Trust is a document signed and executed by the current beneficiary of a Deed of Trust. The release form is submitted to the Public Trustee's Office in the county in which the property is located.

In order to clear the Deed of Trust from the title to the property, a Deed of Reconveyance must be recorded with the Country Recorder or Recorder of Deeds. If the Trustee/Beneficiary fails to record a satisfaction within the set time limits, the Trustee/Beneficiary may be responsible for damages as set out by statute.

With a deed of trust, you temporarily give control of the title to your property to the lender for security purposes. Once you pay off the debt, the lender conveys that temporary control back to you.

A deed of release literally releases the parties to a deal from previous obligations, such as payments under the term of a mortgage because the loan has been paid off. The lender holds the title to real property until the mortgage's terms have been satisfied when a deed of release is commonly entered into.

The deed can be re-written to reflect changes, but it needs the consent of both parties. If you want to make substantial changes to the deed, it's typically best to get a new one written. If changes are only minor, you can enter a deed of variation.

The property's title remains in the trust until the loan is paid off, or satisfied, then it is released from the trust. To complete the release, the lender prepares a deed of reconveyance. This document states that the conditions of the loan have been met and you have no further financial obligations to the lender.
