Questions answered? Let's get started!

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 office below.

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

Working with one document at a time every thing was great, but the program will not let multiple documents save independently. When I saved a document and created another document the changes I made on the second document were on the 1st document. No big deal if your printing, but if your saving to email later, its an issue.

I am not so happy. I did find and purchase the document I needed. But there is one problem. It is in Adobe PDF format only. I cannot enter information into the form.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you may have been trying to complete the document in your browser instead of downloading the PDF and completing it on your computer. The PDF forms are fill in the blank, that's one of the reasons we use that format.

1) I was very pleased when the staff mentioned your service since the three referenced on the Recorder's website all wanted HUGE Account set-up and maintenance fees AND BIG fees per recording, and yours has no set-up fee AND nominal per-recording fee; 2) My (few) recordings will be NON-LAND Related, summary or entire record(s) of Administrative (Procedures Act) records, Other than the Border width and Cover Sheet, do you anticipate any other special requirements for such recording(s)? NOTE: I just sent one by Snail Mail, and they just informed me that due to the GERMIPHOBIA 'Pandemic' the ONLY open and record Snail Mail ONCE A MONTH On the first of each chmonth!

the deeds and related materials themselves are excellent but the PDF application is awful plus there is no way to customize the documents for specific purposes, so I had to type them from scratch in each instance.
