Partial Release or Satisfaction of Mortgage by a Corporation
What is this form?
The Partial Release or Satisfaction of Mortgage by a Corporation is a legal document used to release a portion of the property from a mortgage lien. This form is particularly useful when a corporation wishes to free up specific assets without affecting the overall mortgage. Unlike a full satisfaction of mortgage, which discharges the entire obligation, this form allows for a partial discharge of the mortgage on designated property. It is essential for acknowledging the release in the county land records to maintain clear and accurate ownership records.

FAQ
Partial Release or Satisfaction of Mortgage by a Corporation is a legal document used to release a portion of real property from a mortgage lien while leaving the remaining property under the mortgage. It is used when a corporation wants to free up specific assets without discharging the entire loan, and the release must be recorded in county land records to reflect the change in ownership encumbrances.
To clarify, a partial release means the mortgage lien is removed from only the property described in Exhibit A, while the mortgage continues to encumber the rest of the collateral. The release creates a clear record that the specified portion is no longer encumbered.
The document identifies the corporation as the mortgagee, describes the released property as shown in Exhibit A, and states the release applies only to that described portion. It references the original mortgage date and terms, requires the authorized officer’s signature and corporate seal, and includes a notary acknowledgment. Once signed, the release must be recorded in the county land records.
A full satisfaction discharges the entire mortgage lien, removing any encumbrance against all described property. By contrast, this form releases only the specific property described in Exhibit A and leaves the remainder of the mortgage in place for other property covered by the same loan.
The released property must be described precisely as indicated in Exhibit A, including its legal description and identifying details so it can be distinguished from other assets encumbered by the same mortgage. This description defines the scope of the partial release and ensures the county records reflect the correct parcel.
Unlike a full release, this form provides a partial discharge tied to the property described in Exhibit A, leaving the rest of the mortgage intact for other assets. It includes specific release terms, requires an authorized officer’s signature and corporate seal, and requires notary acknowledgment for recording in land records.
