Learn the rule, separate it from the nearest distractor, then apply it to a Georgia fact pattern.
What does Satisfaction or cancellation of security deed mean?
Satisfaction or cancellation of a Georgia security deed is the formal record that the secured debt has been paid and the security deed has been canceled, which operates to reconvey title as provided by Georgia law.
How do you separate the nearest exam answer?
Paying the note satisfies the debt. Recording the cancellation clears the public title record of the security instrument.
What changes or stays the same in Georgia?
O.C.G.A. § 44-14-67 treats surrender and cancellation after payment as a reconveyance of title to the grantor.
A borrower pays the final loan balance, and the lender submits the proper cancellation so the county record no longer shows the security deed as an outstanding encumbrance.
A zero loan balance and a clean public record are related but not identical facts. The recorded cancellation matters for title evidence.

GLOSSARY TERM GUIDERetrieve the rule under exam conditions
Answer before reading the explanation. Then explain why every distractor belongs to a different term.
A homeowner makes the final payment on a loan secured by a Georgia security deed. A title search a month later still shows the security deed as open. What is missing?
- A
A new warranty deed from the lender to the homeowner
- B
Nothing, because payment alone clears the record
- C
A recorded cancellation of the security deed
- D
A quitclaim deed from the homeowner to the lender
Paying the note satisfies the debt, but the public record changes only when the cancellation or satisfaction is recorded. Under Georgia law that cancellation reconveys title to the borrower, so no separate deed from the lender is needed. A zero balance and a clean record are different facts.
