A Deed of Release is a document where one who has limited rights to a piece of real estate, such as a mortgagee or lienholder, abandons those rights back to the owner of the property. It often takes the form of a Quitclaim Deed.
A lienholder is an individual or entity that holds a lien on a property, thus having a legal right or claim against the property as a security for a debt or obligation.
