Connecticut Release of Mortgage is a legal document that is used to release a mortgaged property from a lender's lien. This document is typically used when a borrower has successfully paid off the mortgage loan and now wishes to have the lender release their ownership interest in the property. The Connecticut Release of Mortgage must be signed by the lender and recorded with the town Clerk's office where the property is located. There are two main types of Connecticut Release of Mortgage documents: a full release and a partial release. A full release is the most common form and is used when the mortgage loan is paid in full and the lien must be completely released. A partial release is used when the mortgage loan is partially paid off and the lien must be partially released.
