What is a mortgage discharge?

Use the mortgage discharge authority form to give us instructions about your loan when:

  • You sell a property.

  • You refinance your loan with another bank or financial institution.

  • You’ve repaid your loan and want us to release your property from the mortgage.

  • You want to release a family guarantee on your loan.
