Once a loan on real property has been paid in full/satisfied the Lender/Mortgagee generally has 60 days to record a "Release of Mortgage" (also known as a "Satisfaction of Mortgage") and to notify the Borrower/Mortgagor of said action. If the satisfaction/release of mortgage is not given, the lender could be liable for damages.

The affidavit shall provide similar information with respect to every recorded assignment of the mortgage.) (CT Gen Stat 49-8a(d))

That instrument vests in the person or persons entitled thereto such legal title as is held by virtue of the mortgage, or mechanic's lien.

Forms do not allow enough space for fields and cutoff. Need to expand the fields to allow for more writing. I ended up re-typing to be able to include full property description. Would be nice if available in Word format rather than only PDF format.

This was such an easy process and even tho you had to pay a $15 - to me it was well worth not having to drive downtown etc or take the risk of mailing the documents (fearing that they would get lost). I'll be using this from now on...

This product is good but the text boxes are not large enough to contain the information required for the form. Even dates do not display with the entry you make.
