The re-reason act, also known as mortgage satisfaction, is a document that certifies that you have repaid your mortgage.

A re-relief certificate will release the lien by the mortgage lender placed on your property.
-
You need this document to prove a clear title when selling your home.
What is a re-emergency action?
The act of resurrection is a document that certifies that you have paid back your home’s mortgage. This represents the transfer of the title from your mortgage lender to you to your property.
While you were legally owning the property while you paid off your mortgage, the lender held a mortgage lien against it. If you fail to pay off your mortgage, your lender can get your home back. Once you have paid off your loan, the lender will need to remove the lien. To do that, it issues a re-emergency act.
What is your mortgage satisfaction?
Mortgage satisfaction is another name for re-emergency. It ensures that the borrower has fully paid off the mortgage and that the mortgage lender has no lien in the home.
What is a complete reconstruction?
The act of reconstruction is also known as the full California recompensation form.
What is the difference between a release certificate and a re-relief?
The act of release legally removes further obligations on a binding contract. Mortgage lenders can use it to indicate that they no longer have a mortgage payment, but they can also be used in other situations, such as between an employer and an employee. Re-relief certificates apply especially to mortgages.
How re-emergency actions work
It takes several steps to obtain a re-warranty certificate that has been created and confirmed.
- The borrower will make the final mortgage payment. First, you will complete your mortgage repayment. You may then need to ask the lender for a re-employment action. To be safe, contact your company and ask about their policies.
- The lender creates a re-emergency act. Once the title company acting as a lender, or more generally, a lender’s trustee, confirms that your loan is being repaid, it will create, sign and notarize a re-emergency act. Typically, this document must be provided within 30-60 days of the final payment, says Megan Hernandez, senior director of public relations and marketing at the American Land Title Association.
- The borrower will receive and review the recompensation deed. Once you receive the documentation, please check carefully for errors.
- The borrower submits the act. If the lender sends the document directly, it must be submitted to the recording office of the county where the property is located. To avoid any issues when you sell your home, the act must be legally recorded.
If you are selling your home but have not yet repayed your mortgage, the re-relief deed will still affect the final stages of the closure process: money from the buyer pays the remaining loan, which will cause the issuance of the deed. In this case, the title company usually handles the recording.
“During the lead-up to the closure, the title company will reach out to lenders and ask for a payoff statement that reflects everything up to the day of the closure,” Hernandez said. “At the time of closing, the title company will send a payoff to your lender and proof of that payment will be sent to the buyer’s lender.”
What information does the re-emergency practice contain?
Acts of compensation usually include:
- Homeowner/Mortgage borrower’s name and address
- Lender/trustor’s name
- Legal explanation of property and parcel number based on the original conduct
- Proof that the borrower is fulfilling his obligations to the lender and that the property secured by the mortgage currently belongs to the borrower.
- Signatures of related parties and stamps of notaries
Why do you need a remedy certificate?
When you sell your home, the re-relief certificate is proof that the property has a clear title, which means you are free from unpaid mortgages and other liens and claims. Buyers are often reluctant to buy a home without a clear title due to additional complications that it may be involved.
Even if you don’t plan on selling, you’ll need to re-employ. It is proof that you have paid back your mortgage, which prevents the lender from claiming property.
How much does it cost to get a re-employment?
Obtaining a deed of compensation may involve payment of fees charged as follows:
- Your local government. Most cities and towns charge a fee to record documents.
- You are a lender. Some lenders will charge a fee to generate a re-relief certificate.
- Notary. If the act needs to be signed, it must be notarized.
How long does it take to receive a re-employment action?
It can take up to two months to receive a re-emergency action after you have fully repaid your loan, but the exact time will vary by state and lender. In many cases, state laws outline how long a lender must provide an act of re-relief.
What happens if the re-relief certificate is not recorded?
If no replays are recorded, don’t panic. You can still record your deed even if your mortgage has been repaid for a while.
“The act of repaying all the money you have not paid actually destroys your mortgage,” says Hernandez. “Recording satisfaction is merely evidence of reward. If you have a document showing that consumers have paid off their mortgage, you don’t have to worry about lenders following them.”
If you have paid off your mortgage but have never received a re-emergency action, contact your lender. Lenders can face statutory penalties, or even litigation, if the conduct process is not handled in accordance with state guidelines.
