A borrower’s payout request to an outgoing lender and a deed by which the lender, on receiving the payout amount, releases the borrower and guarantors, discharges its security, removes PPSR registrations and delivers title documents and mortgage discharges.

## Key facts

- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-18 against the 3 authorities it cites, for Australia.

## When to use it

Use when a facility is being repaid or refinanced and the incoming lender or buyer needs clean title at settlement. Many banks insist on their own discharge forms for land mortgages; use this deed for the overall release and the personal property security, and attach or refer to those forms.

## Used for these tasks

- [Review the existing finance documents and security package](https://ailawframework.com/practice/banking-and-finance.md#A3-T1-R7)

## How AI may be used

AI may list every security, guarantee and registration to be released from the security schedule and search results and fill them into the deed, but a lawyer confirms the list is complete and the payout figure and conditions are agreed before settlement.

**AI may:**

- Build Schedule 1 from the finance documents, the security register, PPSR searches and title searches
- Fill the parties, facility, payout date and account details into the payout letter and deed
- Reconcile the outgoing lender’s payout figure with the loan statements and list differences for the lawyer

**AI must not:**

- Must not confirm the payout figure, daily interest or break costs; those come from the lender and are checked by a person
- Must not change bank account details for the payout from anything other than verified written instructions confirmed by phone on a known number
- Must not omit guarantees or third-party security because they are not on the PPSR

**The lawyer checks:**

- Schedule 1 lists every security interest, mortgage, guarantee and PPSR registration, including third-party security and all-moneys securities that might secure other debts
- The release is unconditional on receipt of the payout amount, and the outgoing lender confirms no other facility is secured by the same security
- Payment details have been verified independently before funds are sent
- Land mortgage discharges in the lender’s approved form, title documents and PPSR financing change statements are available at or promptly after settlement
