Redact Legal Maryland Satisfaction Of Mortgage Forms For Free

If the satisfaction of mortgage isn't recorded, the property owner may have trouble when they try to refinance or sell the property. They'll have to chase down the discharge documents and get them recorded in order to clear the title. It can even cause a delay to the closing.

A satisfaction of mortgage is a document that proves the borrower has paid off the mortgage in full, freeing the loan's lien on the property and giving the title to the borrower.

Within 60 days of 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.

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.

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!

State property records will show whether your lien is released. You can find information on property records by contacting your local Secretary of State or county recorder of deeds. After you pay off your mortgage, your lender should also return the original note to you.
