Re: Paying off seller financed mortgage
You should request a pay-off statement from the mortgagee (party holding the original promissory note and mortgage), and upon payment of the pay-off figure (assuming the figure is true and correct), you should get in return a satisfaction of mortgage in recordable form and the original promissory note marked "paid in full".

At the very least you will need a stisfaction of mortgage, in form to be recorded and return of the original promissory note marked paid.
