MORTGAGE DEBT-RELEASE

Complete·8/1/25

SB1443 clarifies that paying off a mortgage debt in full extinguishes the mortgage lien under Illinois law.

SB1443 amends the Mortgage Act to ensure that the payment in full of a debt secured by a mortgage, as defined in the Mortgage Certificate of Release Act, extinguishes the mortgage lien. This law maintains the Illinois common law principle that full payment of a mortgage debt cancels the mortgage lien. The Act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
