A California deed of reconveyance transfers property rights from the trustee to the borrower when the borrower fully repays the obligations set forth in a deed of trust. Once the loan is repaid, the beneficiary (lender) must notify and deliver the original deed of trust, promissory note, and a request for a full reconveyance to the trustee. The deed of reconveyance announces publicly that the deed has been repaid in full and it is also required when a mortgagor repays a mortgage.
