FAQ
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.
A real estate deed should be recorded in the office of the county recorder in the county where the property is located. The office of the county recorder may also be called the register of deeds, clerk of courts, office of the judge of probate, or recorder of deeds.
A Deed of Trust is essentially an agreement between a lender and a borrower to give the property to a neutral third party who will serve as a trustee. The trustee holds the property until the borrower pays off the debt.
A deed of trust is a legal document that is the security for a real estate loan. The document itself is recorded with the county recorder or registrar of titles in the county where the real estate is located.
The title deeds to a property with a mortgage are usually kept by the mortgage lender. They will only be given to you once the mortgage has been paid in full. But, you can request copies of the deeds at any time.
A Mortgage Release is where you, the homeowner, voluntarily transfer the ownership of your property to the owner of your mortgage in exchange for a release from your mortgage loan and payments.Depending on your situation, you may be required to make a financial contribution to receive a mortgage release.
Giving the wrong legal address for the property or the wrong amount of the debt can render the deed unenforceable. In some cases, the error is easy to fix, and the court will rule the deed is enforceable.
What is Satisfaction of Mortgage? A Satisfaction of Mortgage, also known as a Mortgage Lien Release, is a legal document provided by the mortgagee (financial institution) advising that the mortgage has been paid in full, all terms of the loan have been satisfied and there will no longer be a lien on the property.
As you stated in your question, it is recorded among the land records, and your lender keeps the original. When you pay off the loan, the lender will return the deed of trust with the promissory note. This document is rather lengthy and quite legalistic.

Law summary
Satisfaction, Release or Cancellation of Deed of Trust by Corporation
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 rules 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.
