FAQ
Once you've paid off your outstanding mortgage debt, the lender must prepare and issue a release of mortgage. This document officially discharges you from the debt obligation and removes the lien against the property.
Step 1 Identify the parties. The appropriate parties should be documented on the Satisfaction of Mortgage. Step 2 Fill and Sign. The Satisfaction of Mortgage should be signed by the mortgagee, after it has been issued. Step 3 File and Record the Form.
In most cases, the lien holder (the lender in this case) should send the release to be recorded within 30-90 days. If you aren't sure what the requirements are in your area, reach out to your real estate agent, title agent, or real estate attorney for guidance.
When you pay off your loan and you have a mortgage, the lender will send you or the local recorder of deeds or office that handles the filing of real estate documents a release of mortgage.On the other hand, when you have a trust deed or deed of trust, the lender files a release deed.
Key Takeaways. A satisfaction of mortgage is a signed document confirming that the borrower has paid off the mortgage in full and that the mortgage is no longer 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.
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.
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.
