Property Deed Individual Interesting Questions
A property deed of trust in Arizona is a legal document that serves as a security measure for a loan related to real estate. It is a way to ensure that the lender has the right to take possession of the property if the borrower fails to repay the loan.
When you take out a loan to buy a property in Arizona, the lender will require you to sign a property deed of trust. This document gives the lender a legal interest in the property. If you fail to repay the loan, the lender can initiate a foreclosure process to take ownership of the property and sell it to recover the outstanding debt.
There are three parties involved in a property deed of trust in Arizona: the borrower (also known as the trustor), the lender (also known as the beneficiary), and a neutral third party called the trustee. The trustee holds the legal title to the property until the loan is repaid or until the property is sold in a foreclosure sale.
While both serve as security measures for loans related to real estate, a property deed of trust involves three parties: the borrower, the lender, and the trustee. In contrast, a mortgage only involves two parties: the borrower and the lender. Additionally, a property deed of trust allows for a non-judicial foreclosure process in Arizona, meaning the lender can foreclose on the property without going through a court.
To remove a property deed of trust in Arizona, the borrower must repay the loan in full, including any interest and fees. Once the loan is paid off, the lender will issue a document called a Reconveyance Deed, which removes the lender's interest in the property. This document is then recorded with the county recorder's office to clear the property title.

Law summary
Partial Release of Property From Deed of Trust for Individual
Assignments Generally: Lenders,
or holders of mortgages or deeds of trust, often assign mortgages or deeds
of trust to other lenders, or third parties. When this is done the
assignee (person who received the assignment) steps into the place of the
original lender or assignor. To effectuate an assignment, the general
rules is that the assignment must be in proper written format and recorded
to provide notice of the assignment.
Satisfactions Generally: Once a mortgage or deed of trust is paid, the holder of the mortgage is required to satisfy the mortgage or deed of trust of record to show that the mortgage or deed of trust is no longer a lien on the property. 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. Depending on your state, a satisfaction may be called a Satisfaction, Cancellation, or Reconveyance. Some states still recognize marginal satisfaction but this is slowly being phased out. A marginal satisfaction is where the holder of the mortgage physically goes to the recording office and enters a satisfaction on the face of the the recorded mortgage, which is attested by the clerk.
Arizona Law
Execution of Assignment or Satisfaction: Assignment must be signed by mortgagee. Satisfaction must be signed by mortgagee or trustee.

Demand to Satisfy: If the lender has failed to record the satisfaction of the deed of trust within 30 days of full payment, he becomes liable to the borrower for damages caused by the failure. If the borrower then sends a written request to record satisfaction by certified mail to the lender, and the lender fails to do so within 30 days of receipt thereof, then lender becomes liable for $1000 plus damages. (See below, sec. 33-712.)
Recording Satisfaction: If a mortgagee, trustee or person entitled to payment receives full satisfaction of a mortgage or deed of trust, he shall acknowledge satisfaction of the mortgage or deed of trust by delivering to the person making satisfaction or by recording a sufficient release or satisfaction of mortgage or deed of release and reconveyance of the deed of trust, which release, satisfaction of mortgage or deed of release and reconveyance shall contain the docket and page number or recording number of the mortgage or deed of trust.
Marginal Satisfaction: Marginal satisfaction is still recognized.
Penalty: See above entry for Demand to Satisfy.
Acknowledgment: An assignment or satisfaction must contain a proper Arizona acknowledgment, or other acknowledgment approved by Statute.

If the record of such mortgage or deed of trust has been destroyed and the record thereof reduced to microfilm, such affidavit shall be recorded and indexed as releases, satisfactions of mortgage and deeds of release and reconveyance are recorded and indexed and shall have the same force and effect as a release or satisfaction of a mortgage or deed of release and reconveyance as provided in subsection A of this section.
E.
