Use this form to release a portion of property secured by a mortgage and promissory note. Example: borrower has financed 5 lots for $100,000.00 which has since been paid down to a balance of $30,000.00. Borrower approaches Lender and would like the lender to release lot #3 because he has it sold. The lender might think, ok - he will owe me $30,000.00 on the remaining 4 lots, I consider this a good risk. The same can also be applicable to condominiums, apartments, parcels, etc.

This form is used by the (mortgagee or the personal representative, successor, or assign of the mortgagee), who (shall prepare a discharge of the mortgage, file the discharge with the register of deeds for the county where the mortgaged property is located, and pay the fee for recording the discharge.)

This website was very helpful in explaining what a "gift" deed is and how to execute it. I didn't want to incur legal fees for a simple transaction and this website helped me avoid that.

It is a difficult challenge -- trying to take the needless jargon out of legal transactions so ordinary citizens can manage their affairs. Deeds.com hasn't solved all the problems, but has made a super effort to help us achieve self-sufficiency.

The only reason for the low review was I could not find the form that I needed.

The process was very easy but I did not realize before I paid to get this form , that I could have gotten it free from Tulsa county clerks office. Other than that, it was fine.

Reply from Staff

Thank you for the honest feedback, Robin, and we're glad the process was easy for you. You're right that the Tulsa County Clerk publishes a free transfer on death deed form, and we'd never want anyone to feel they overpaid. Our version isn't that same blank, though: it adds an alternate beneficiary designation so the property still passes as you intend if your first choice doesn't survive you, it's built to handle one or two owners, and it comes with a plain-language guide and a completed example. We appreciate your business.
