Partial Release documents are guided by North Carolina Statutes 45-36.22

A partial release document for a Deed of Trust must do all the following:

1. State the Deed of Trust it is releasing, original parties to the Deed of Trust, recording data for the Deed of Trust (Book and Page number) and the office in which the Deed of Trust was recorded.

2. That (if the security instrument is a deed of trust, that the person or persons signing the partial release is or are the secured creditor, the trustee, or both the secured creditor and the trustee.) 45-36.22(2)

This Deed of Partial Release is formatted to be used by the secured creditor only, meaning the lender signs the document without the trustee and states:

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD said Released Property, together with all privileges and appurtenances thereunto belonging, to the Owner, its successors and assigns, free and discharged from the lien and operation of the Deed of Trust But it is agreed that this Release shall apply only to Released Property and as to the remainder of the property described in the Deed of Trust (not heretofore released), the Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect.

(North Carolina DOPR Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)

Important: Your property must be located in Johnston County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

This Deed of Partial Release meets all recording requirements specific to Johnston County.

Fairly easy to use. I had to really search to get some info. I had to use the Exhibit feature because the description box was way too small and I ended up re-typing it. The package had good and useful links. The County Clerk looked at it and said, "I see you used an online form, and that's OK, but..." and proceeded to show me a couple of things that were left out. They recorded it with no problems.

Quit Claim deed for North Carolina did not include all of the information I needed (two separate notary sections), but I was able to re-create another notary section in Word, and then insert it in the appropriate place after printing both documents. Otherwise, the document worked as described.

I wanna give more stars because the required information is there, but the character spacing is disjointed on the first page, rendering a gap-filled, awkward-looking document. Also, the opening parenthesis for the first field on the first page is on the wrong line and is backwards, which sets the wrong tone especially since it's the first thing you have to fill out.
