What happens when I pay off my deed of trust/mortgage and will I be receiving a new deed?

Once the deed of trust or mortgage is paid off, the lender prepares a Certificate and Affidavit of Satisfaction. The lender may record a Certificate and Affidavit of Satisfaction on behalf of the borrower or send the borrower the original to be recorded. Once the Certificate and Affidavit of Satisfaction is recorded, the lien is released of record. A new deed is only required if property is sold or transferred.
