You must discharge your mortgage before selling a property so that all of your lender's rights are removed.
A release of mortgage, commonly known as a discharge of mortgage, is a legal document issued by the lender acknowledging that the mortgage debt is settled. It effectively releases the property from the lien, allowing homeowners clear ownership.
Once you've informed your lender and sent back a completed Discharge Authority Form, it typically takes a lender 10-15 business days to complete. However, this does vary ing to the lender. A partial discharge could take longer, as the lender may wish to carry out property valuations.
Under federal law, the servicer must generally send you a payoff statement within seven business days of your request, subject to a few exceptions. (12 C.F.R. § 1026.36.)
