Partial Release Clause is a provision under which the mortgagee agrees to release certain parcels from the lien of the blanket mortgage upon payment of a certain sum of money by the mortgagor. It's frequently found in tract development construction loans.
A partial reconveyance is to reconvey a portion of the land subject to a deed of trust, not the loan amount.He will have to wait to pay off the full loan before the property is granted back to him.
If you are approved for the partial mortgage release, you will receive notification within two to six weeks.
In most cases, the lien holder (the lender in this case) should send the release to be recorded within 30-90 days. If you aren't sure what the requirements are in your area, reach out to your real estate agent, title agent, or real estate attorney for guidance.
A mortgage release usually takes around 90 days to complete, but this could be shorter or longer depending upon your specific situation.
A partial release is a mortgage provision that allows some of the collateral to be released from a mortgage after the borrower pays a certain amount of the loan. Lenders require proof of payment, a survey map, appraisal, and a letter outlining the reason for the partial release.
Which situation would require a partial release? A borrower who wishes to sell a property that is part of a blanket mortgage(multiple properties and one mortgage loan) would need the lender to issue a partial release on the property being sold to release the lien and give the property a clean title.
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.

However, if instead mortgagor, by written request, demands that a recordable certificate of satisfaction be delivered to mortgagor within 45 days pursuant to 47.208 (below), then mortgagor is not required to pay mortgagee's expenses for delivering same.
