Made my final mortgage payment. Now what?

[Mirzet Mehovic]

So I bought this property from someone who had it under contract with a private money lender so then I continued the payments to him. I sent the guy the mortgage every month and last month was the final payment. We usually communicate through text. I texted him to confirm if he received it. He texted that he did.

This was a few days ago. He didnt deposit it yet but he usually takes his time. Anyway my question is, do I need to ask him to fill out any forms stating I paid or that the mortgage is done? He never was so official and I do have records of payments but I'm just curious is there anything I need to do on my end now or that's it?

Anything I should worry about?

In Oklahoma, I often make sure to get a lien release from the lender and get that filed ASAP
