A deed is evidence of a specific event of transferring the title of the property from one person to another. A title is the legal right to use and modify the property how you see fit, or transfer interest or any portion that you own to others via a deed. A deed represents the right of the owner to claim the property.

A Satisfaction of Mortgage, sometimes called a release of mortgage, is a document that acknowledges that the terms of a Mortgage Agreement have been satisfied, meaning that a borrower has repaid their mortgage loan to the lender.

This release of mortgage is recorded or filed and gives notice to the world that the lien is no more. On the other hand, when you have a trust deed or deed of trust, the lender files a release deed. With a deed of trust, you temporarily give control of the title to your property to the lender for security purposes.

The California TOD deed form allows property to be automatically transferred to a new owner when the current owner dies, without the need to go through probate. It also gives the current owner retained control over the property, including the right to change his or her mind about the transfer.
