What should I expect to receive from the bank after my loan is paid off? The deed?

Your lender will record a satisfaction/release of mortgage at the county recorder's office. Every mortgage servicer is a bit different, but you will receive a letter stating that it's paid in full and a copy of the release of mortgage. There is no actual document like an auto title that you will receive. You have always owned the home, you just had a lien on it (mortgage).

You received the deed when you purchased the property.. so what you will be looking for is a "Release of Deed".. this is the document that says you have satisfied your loan obligations.. it will accompany a letter stating your loan has been paid in full..

Depends on the lender and state/local procedures but as others pointed out you mainly will get an official document acknowledging the note is paid in full and the mortgage (technically a lien on the property) is released.

You will receive a Release of Deed and a letter stating it has been paid in full.
