Escrow & TitleIntermediateColorado Exam

In Colorado, a 'release of deed of trust' (deed of reconveyance) is recorded when:

AA. The property is listed for sale
BB. The borrower pays off the mortgage loan and the lender releases the lien on the propertyCorrect
CC. The property is transferred to a new owner, which most practitioners would generally accept
DD. The property is refinanced

Why B. The borrower pays off the mortgage loan and the lender releases the lien on the property Is Correct

Answer B: B. The borrower pays off the mortgage loan and the lender releases the lien on the property

When a borrower pays off a Colorado deed of trust loan in full, the lender (beneficiary) directs the trustee to record a release of deed of trust (also called a deed of reconveyance). This removes the lien from the public record and gives the borrower clear title.

Exam Tip: Escrow & Title

Escrow questions test the neutral third-party role and the sequence of closing events. Remember that the escrow agent acts as a dual agent for both buyer and seller and cannot advocate for either side.
