A mortgage must be satisfied (paid) in order to obtain a release that then must be recorded in the land records. The only other ways to discharge a mortgage are via a court order or to wait until the state of limitation for mortgages has passed in your jurisdiction. In Massachusetts a mortgage is no longer effective after 35 years.

On the other hand, if a mortgage has been paid and you cannot find the lender to obtain a release there is likely a way for you to record documentation in the land records that proves the mortgage was paid. For that you should consult with an attorney in your area who can advise you, and assist you in writing a proper affidavit accompanied by acceptable documentation.

Who pays for satisfaction of mortgage?

If the mortgagee (lender) fails to record a satisfaction within the set time limits, the mortgagee may be responsible for damages set out by statute. A Satisfaction of Mortgage is a document signed by a mortgagee acknowledging that a mortgage has been fully paid by the mortgagor and that the mortgage is no longer a lien on the property. In order to clear the title to the real property owned by the mortgagor, the Satisfaction of Mortgage document must be recorded with the County Recorder or Recorder of Deeds.

Could the mortgage company payout a judgment with the equity in the house without notifying me?

Yes. If you applied and were approved for an equity credit line mortgage and there was an existing lien on your property, the mortgage company was obligated to pay the lien before disbursing any funds to you. That is the purpose of recording a lien against a debtor's property. You can't sell, refinance or receive a disbursement from a credit line without paying the lien. It must have been discussed with you at some point during the transaction- when it was reported to the bank by the title examiner.
