Georgia closing guide
Georgia cancellation of security deed
A cancellation of security deed is the recorded release evidence showing a security deed has been satisfied or cancelled. Attorneys verify that it matches the correct original instrument.
Best evidence
The strongest release evidence references the original security deed by book/page, borrower, lender, or recording details. A generic name match is weaker and may require source-document review.
Common review problems
Problems include missing book/page references, assignments without corresponding releases, borrower-name variation, and cancellations tied to a different property or loan.
How Cliros presents it

Can a cancellation be indexed under a different lender name?
Yes. Assignments, mergers, servicers, and name changes can make lender matching less direct.
What if the cancellation is not found?
The attorney may need payoff evidence, lender contact, a recorded cancellation, underwriter guidance, or another curative path.
