What is a Deed of Reconveyance?

A Deed of Reconveyance is documentation that the debt secured by a Deed of Trust (a document that allows a third party to hold the title to a property until it is completely paid for) has been fully paid.

The three parties involved in the Deed of Reconveyance are as follows:

Trustor: the person who is paying back the loan so they can own the real property (such as land or a house)

Trustee: the person who acts as a neutral third party and holds the title to the real property until the trustor has paid off the loan

Beneficiary: the person that loaned the money to the trustor so they could purchase the real property

In other words, in a Deed of Reconveyance, the trustee declares that the trustor has paid their loan back to the beneficiary in full, so now the trustor has ownership rights to the real property (e.g. land or house) specified in the Deed of Trust.

A Deed of Reconveyance is also known as a:

Reconveyance of Deed of Trust
Full Reconveyance
Release of Deed of Trust

What is the difference between a Deed of Reconveyance and Satisfaction of Mortgage?

A Deed of Reconveyance states that the debt that was outlined in a Deed of Trust has been fully paid, and a Satisfaction of Mortgage indicates that a mortgage loan that was specified in a Mortgage Agreement has been fully paid.

Essentially, both forms indicate that a debt has been completely paid off, but for different types of documents.

Whether a Deed of Trust or Mortgage Agreement was used depends on the state.

Some states require a Deed of Trust to be filed, some states require a Mortgage Agreement, and some states will accept both as valid documents.

How do you file a Deed of Reconveyance?

A Deed of Reconveyance should be filed with your local county recorder or recorder of deeds once it has been signed by a notary public (such as an attorney).

Once the document has been filed, the debt that was registered to the property will be considered paid off.

It is important to file a Deed of Reconveyance once the debt on a Deed of Trust has been paid, as there may be penalties involved for not filing the document within a reasonable time (generally around 30 days from the date that the final debt payment was made).
