Torrens property crops up quite often in the world of commercial title insurance, and comes with its own particular set of pros and cons. In this article, we are going to discuss why it may be difficult to obtain a satisfaction of mortgage when dealing with Torrens property.

Satisfaction of Mortgage

One of the biggest hurdles when dealing with Torrens property is that it can be difficult to obtain satisfactions of mortgage for such properties. This is due to a variety of factors. For example, let’s say there is an old mortgage on the property record. You are pretty sure this mortgage was paid off but it’s not listed in the property record. This sometimes happens with Torrens property because the mortgage will stay on the Torrens certificate even after the mortgage has been paid. It can be quite the headache to track down the satisfaction of mortgage in this situation – especially if it’s a very old mortgage.

That being said, tracking down the satisfaction of mortgage on a Torrens property is far from impossible. A skilled title company can be a significant help in such a situation. That’s why it’s important to partner with an experienced title company on your commercial transaction.
