Q: Does a mortgage assignment need to be recorded?

An assignment transfers all of the original mortgagee&#039;s interest under the mortgage or deed of trust to the new bank.

FAQ

A mortgage lender can transfer a mortgage to another company using an assignment agreement.Many banks and mortgage lenders sell outstanding loans in order to free up money to lend to new borrowers, and use an assignment of mortgage to legally grant the loan obligation to the new mortgage holder.

An assignment of mortgage gives the loan seller's rights under the mortgage, including the right to foreclose if the borrower doesn't make payments, to the new owner of the loan.

Once the note is assigned, the person to whom it is assigned, the assignee, can collect payment under the note. Assignment of the mortgage agreement occurs when the mortgagee (the bank or lender) transfers its rights under the agreement to another party.

An assignment transfers all of the original mortgagee's interest under the mortgage or deed of trust to the new bank. Generally, the mortgage or deed of trust is recorded shortly after the mortgagors sign it and, if the mortgage is subsequently transferred, each assignment is to be recorded in the county land records.

Assignment of Deed of Trust by Individual Mortgage Holder

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 rule 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.

Nevada Law

Execution of Assignment or Satisfaction:

Assignment must be signed by Trust Beneficiary. Trust Beneficiary must sign certificate of release and provide to Trustee, who then signs satisfaction.

Assignment:

Recommended that assignment be recorded in order to avoid complications.

Demand to Satisfy:

Within 21 calendar days after receiving written notice that a debt secured by a deed of trust made on or after October 1, 1991, has been paid or otherwise satisfied or discharged, the beneficiary shall deliver to the trustee or the trustor the original note and deed of trust, if he is in possession of those documents, and a properly executed request to reconvey the estate in real property conveyed to the trustee by the grantor.

Recording Satisfaction:

A recorded deed of trust may be discharged by an entry on the margin of the record thereof, signed by the trustee or his personal representative or assignee in the presence of the recorder or his deputy, acknowledging the satisfaction of or value received for the deed of trust and the debt secured thereby. (But see, NRS 107.073, below.)

Marginal Satisfaction:

Allowed, UNLESS deed of trust has been recorded by a microfilm or other photographic process- if so, an acknowledged reconveyance of the deed of trust must be recorded.

Penalty:

If the beneficiary fails to deliver to the trustee a properly executed request to reconvey, or if the trustee fails to cause to be recorded a reconveyance of the deed of trust, the beneficiary or the trustee, as the case may be, is liable in a civil action to the grantor, his heirs or assigns in the sum of $500, plus a reasonable attorney's fee. (And see, NRS 107.077(3), below.)

Acknowledgment:

An assignment or satisfaction must contain a proper Nevada acknowledgment, or other acknowledgment approved by Statute.

The recorder or his deputy shall subscribe the entry as witness. The entry has the same effect as a reconveyance of the deed of trust acknowledged and recorded as provided by law. The recorder shall properly index each marginal discharge.

2. If the deed of trust has been recorded by a microfilm or other photographic process, a marginal release may not be used and an acknowledged reconveyance of the deed of trust must be recorded.

3. If the recorder or his deputy is presented with a certificate executed by the trustee or his personal representative or assignee, specifying that the deed of trust has been paid or otherwise satisfied or discharged, the recorder or his deputy shall discharge the deed of trust upon the record.
