In West Virginia a Deed of Trust can be released by a Beneficiary/Lender or by a Trustee. This form is used by the current Lender, holder of the note or notes. For use when the note or notes have been satisfied and a full release is required. (Such release shall be executed and furnished to the debtor within thirty days after the debt has been satisfied.) (WV. Article 12. 38-12-1) (a))
Such release of lien shall be executed by the lienholder and acknowledged before the clerk of the county commission in whose office the lien is recorded or before such other person authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds. Such written release shall be deemed sufficient if it describes the lien to be released by any words that will identify and show an intent to discharge the same. Releases may also be made according to the provisions of section two of this article. (WV. Article 12. 38-12-1) (b))
38-12-8. Recordation of release; effect.
When the release has been so signed and acknowledged, it may be presented for record to the clerk in whose office the lien thereby intended to be released is recorded or docketed, and from and after the time the same is so left for record (which time the clerk shall endorse thereon) such lien shall be discharged and extinguished, and the estate, of whatever kind, bound or affected thereby, shall be deemed to be vested in the former owner or those claiming under him as if such lien had never existed
If a release is not executed as described, the lienholder can be liable to pay,( at the cost of the lienholder who so refuses without good cause and the court shall also award reasonable attorney fees and court costs to the person entitled to such release if such person be the prevailing party.)

Not too hard to do, I did get it checked out by an attorney after I completed it just to be safe. He said it was fine, made no changes.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

County accepted the TODD form. Easy to understand and don’t have to hire an attorney! Excellent
Appreciate this, Steven. That's exactly the outcome we're aiming for. Wishing you well.

This is a very useful site for downloading legal forms - just be sure you're getting the form you need before buying. Unfortunately I selected the wrong form initially and had to buy a 2nd form to correct my error. I saw no way of communicating my error at that point - i.e., loss of one star.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

You had the generic document that I was looking for Yay! The "example" page was helpful and reassuring. The auto input sections of my document looked ok until i printed it and then it appeared to be out of alignment which is why my rating is lowered to 4 stars it would be nice to have the ability to correct the title (created by me) when downloading PDFs for an e-filing
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
