YANML, and YANMBroker. I need a reality check. I tried to google this but I'm not sure what terms I should be searching for.
Let's say you've loaned money to a business in exchange for a second mortgage. Now said business wants to refinance both their first and second, and needs you to sign a deed of reconveyance to satisfy the new lienholder. In this circumstance, is it normal to sign off on the deed before you're actually paid off?
The business is strapped and does not have the funds to pay you off until the refinancing is consummated.
What assurance, if any, would you have of getting paid, once you'd provided the signed deed? Would you typically send the deed to the business owners, to a title company, or...? Who would typically approach you for the deed—the business owners, the title company, the new lender?

Whoever handles the closing - lawyer, realtor, or title agent - should make sure everyone is properly paid.
