Security Instruments in Pennsylvania are satisfied by recording a document which typically titled as a Satisfaction or Satisfaction Piece. In prior decades, security instruments were satisfied by a stamp and signature from a representative of the lender coming into the land records office and physically stamping and signing that a security instrument was paid in full in the margin of the first page of the recorded mortgage. Many lenders will accidentally recorded a Release of Mortgage instead of a Satisfaction when a mortgage has been paid in full. | Security Instruments in Pennsylvania are satisfied by recording a document which typically titled as a Satisfaction or Satisfaction Piece.
