A Satisfaction of Mortgage is a document that is used to confirm that a mortgage has been successfully repaid.
In most cases, if your home loan was through a bank or large financial institution, they will handle this paperwork for you. If the mortgage or loan was handled through a private arrangement, you can easily make the Satisfaction of Mortgage document yourself.
Paying off property or receiving payment in full is satisfying for the buyer and the seller. However, a completed Satisfaction of Mortgage is required to release the lien and obtain the title.
