How long does it take to discharge a mortgage? Generally it takes between 14-21 business days to complete the discharge process. At one stage it took less time, around 10-14 business days, but these days more people are refinancing their home loan so there are more discharges taking place.

Whether you get a deed of reconveyance, a full reconveyance or a satisfaction of mortgage document, it means the same thing: your loan has been repaid in full and the lender no longer has an interest in your property. In short, your home is finally all yours!

How do you get a Satisfaction of Mortgage? A Satisfaction of Mortgage is issued by the lender after they have received the final mortgage payment from the borrower. It's signed by the mortgagee (in the presence of a witness in some states and counties) and then notarized by a registered notary public.

A satisfaction of mortgage, also known as release, cancellation or discharge of mortgage, is a type of legal document that proves you paid your mortgage in full. As a result, it also certifies that the property's title is clear of any liens.

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.

That a mortgage is not recorded does not prohibit the commencement of a mortgage foreclosure action. The mortgage contract between the borrower and the lender is no more binding when it is recorded and so legal action can be taken.
