Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

satisfaction of mortgage

When a mortgage has been paid in full, is there a form called a "mortage satisfaction" which can be obtained, and if so, can it be downloaded from the internet? (if yes, where?)

Also, does the form have to be filed in court?

Re: satisfaction of mortgage

Yes, when one pays off a mortgage, one should get

the mortgagee to sign a satisfaction of mortgage,

which should be recorded with the clerk's office

in the county where the property is located. Forms

are easy to come by, but are not that helpful since

the main information (legal description and reference

to OR Book and page number where mortgage was

originally recorded) that needs to be included is

unique to each transaction.
