Finance

In Wyoming, when a deed of trust is paid off in full, the lender should:

AFile a release of deed of trust with the county clerk to clear the lien✓ Correct
BIssue the borrower a thank-you letter only
CRetain the deed of trust in their files
DReturn the original deed of trust to the borrower without recording anything

Explanation

When a deed of trust is paid off, the lender (beneficiary) must execute and record a release (reconveyance) with the county clerk to clear the lien from title. Failure to do so leaves a cloud on title that must be resolved before the property can be sold or refinanced.
