Before a promissory note can be canceled, the lender must agree to the terms of canceling it. A well-drafted and detailed promissory note can help the parties involved avoid future disputes, misunderstandings, and confusion. When canceling the promissory note, the process is referred to as a release of the note.
Promissory notes are quite simple and can be prepared by anyone. They do not need to be prepared by a lawyer or be notarized. It isn't even particularly significant whether a promissory note is handwritten or typed and printed.
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.)
