The Public Trustee processes releases of deeds of trust (in Colorado, real estate mortgages) upon payoff or refinance of a property, resulting in the release of the corresponding lien on that property.

The documents required for processing are:

• Release of Deed of Trust form, signed and notarized
• Deed of Trust, original or copy
• Promissory Note, original only, marked “Paid” or “Cancelled” (except in the case of a “Live Note” or Partial Release)
• Indemnification Release form—an alternative available to qualified lenders in the case where a promissory note is not submitted
