Prepare Legal Florida Mortgage Satisfaction Forms For Free

Within 60 days after the date of receipt of the full payment of the mortgage, lien, or judgment, the person required to acknowledge satisfaction of the mortgage, lien, or judgment shall send or cause to be sent the recorded satisfaction to the person who has made the full payment.

The lender has a legal obligation to draft, notarize, and file a Florida Satisfaction of Mortgage. While the final payment satisfies the borrower's debt, it does not automatically clear the property title of the lien since the lien is a part of the public record.

In a nutshell, a satisfaction of mortgage is a document signed by your lender stating that you fully paid off your mortgage and that the mortgage is no longer a lien on the property.

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.

Mortgages: Do not require witnesses but must be acknowledged to be recorded. Powers of Attorneys: Requires two witnesses and a notary acknowledgment.

Florida Law states that the execution of the satisfaction must be signed by the lender. Upon the full payment of the mortgage, the borrower may demand of the lender that satisfaction be recorded. The lender then has 60 days to comply, or face liability.
