What is Reconveyance?
A reconveyance is the document a lender's trustee records to release its claim on a property once the loan secured by a deed of trust is fully paid off. It removes the lender from title and confirms the debt is satisfied. In California this is typically a full reconveyance filed with the county after the final payment.
Example: After a homeowner makes the last mortgage payment, the trustee records a full reconveyance, clearing the deed of trust so the title shows no remaining loan.
