Questions answered? Let's get started!

After completing payments on the promissory note connected to a deed of trust, the lender completes this release of lien form. Promptly recording this document in the same county as the original deed of trust and promissory note serves to unencumber (free up) the title to the related real property. There is no need for any words of conveyance because the property rights were transferred when the borrower and lender signed the deed of trust.

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

This Release of Lien meets all recording requirements specific to Shelby County.
