FAQ
A satisfaction of mortgage is a document that confirms a mortgage has been paid off and details the provisions for the transfer of collateral title rights.
If you have cleared a debt, a mortgage satisfaction document will give you clear title to real property. In other words, mortgage satisfaction is a document that results in release or discharge of a mortgage lien, and indicates that a borrower has cleared his/her debt.
In order to clear the title to the real property owned by the mortgagor, the Satisfaction of Mortgage document must be recorded with the County Recorder or Recorder of Deeds. If the mortgagee fails to record a satisfaction within the set time limits, the mortgagee may be responsible for damages set out by statute.
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.
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.
If a lender takes longer than 90 days to record it, they can be charged up to $1,500 in penalties. So, in theory, a satisfaction should be recorded within 30-90 days of payoff regardless of what state you work in.
Go to the county recorder's office or local courthouse to find recorded mortgages. In states such as California, deeds, liens, mortgage documents and various types of land documents are available for review in the recorder's office.
In some cases, a mortgage may have been sold by the mortgage lender to another financial institution. If sold, the owner of the mortgage at the time of the final payment is responsible for completing the satisfaction of mortgage documentation.

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.
