South Carolina Mortgage Satisfaction is the process of releasing a mortgage lien when a loan has been paid in full. This is done by filing a satisfaction document with the county clerks' office where the mortgage was originally filed. There are two types of South Carolina Mortgage Satisfaction: voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary Satisfaction occurs when a borrower pays off their loan in full and the lender voluntarily releases the lien. Involuntary Satisfaction occurs when a borrower has defaulted on their loan and the lender is forced to accept a lesser amount to satisfy the debt. The lender must then file a satisfaction document with the county clerks office in order to release the lien.
