Reconveyance
To Sally. Hi. I'm trying to find out what a reconveyance is too. I
paid off my condo's mortgage. I checked for months to find if the county recorder's office would show if my reconveyance status (because I had paid off my mortgage to the bank I got the mortgage from) would change to a deed status. It's been 2 years since I paid off my mortgage, 6 months since I got the bank to push through paperwork stating I got the reconveyance. I don't know if I am supposed to request a status change or if a reconveyance = deed. When I look up my property's info, there's a doc showing the deed is in the former owner's name. I found I got nowhere writing letters, emailing, calling. I had to go physically down to the county records office 200 miles away to get some info. I think I will have to pay a real estate lawyer to get info on what a reconveyance completely is, and if it is ok to keep my property's records with this status. Good luck to you.
