When a Nevada deed of trust loan is fully paid off, what document must be recorded to release the lien and restore clear title to the borrower?

Correct Answer

D) A deed of reconveyance, recorded by the trustee to transfer bare legal title back to the trustor

When a Nevada deed of trust loan is fully repaid, the beneficiary (lender) instructs the trustee to record a deed of reconveyance (also called a full reconveyance). This document, executed and recorded by the trustee, transfers the bare legal title held by the trustee back to the trustor (borrower), thereby releasing the lien and restoring clear title. This is the proper instrument under NRS Chapter 107 for releasing a deed of trust lien upon payoff.

Answer Options
A
A quitclaim deed, recorded by the trustee to extinguish any remaining interest in the property
B
A satisfaction of mortgage, recorded by the lender to acknowledge that the debt has been paid in full
C
A release of lien, recorded by the beneficiary to cancel the deed of trust from the public record
D
A deed of reconveyance, recorded by the trustee to transfer bare legal title back to the trustor
