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.
Louisiana Law
Assignment: It is recommended that an assignment be in writing and recorded immediately.
Demand to Satisfy: Upon full payoff, mortgagor may make written request to mortgagee to produce the satisfied promissory note or an instrument of release in a form sufficient to bring about the cancellation of the inscription of the recorded mortgage to the mortgagor, whereupon mortgagee must do so within 30 days (60 days if domiciled outside of Louisiana) or suffer liability.
Recording Satisfaction: The recorder of mortgages for the parish of Orleans, and the clerk of court and ex-officio recorder of mortgages of any other parish of the state, shall cancel from the records of his office the inscription of a mortgage upon presentation to him by the debtor thereunder of the original note or sufficient reproduction thereof. (See below, sec. 9:5167)
Marginal Satisfaction: The recorder cancels the mortgage by certification written upon the note.
Penalty: If mortgagee fails to timely comply with written demand for satisfaction as described above (see, Demand to Satisfy), mortgagee is liable for all damages and costs resulting from said failure, including reasonable attorney fees.
Acknowledgment: An assignment or satisfaction must contain a proper Louisiana acknowledgment, or other acknowledgment approved by statute.
