## What it is

Reconveyance is a concept in the Mortgage Servicing family, defined here by the function it performs in the property system rather than by label alone.

## What it actually does

Reconveyance keeps the long promise operating after the excitement of closing has ended.

## Why it exists

It exists because place is unique and immovable while law, capital, information, and human lives must still coordinate around it across time.

## System mechanics

- **Who uses it:** owner, occupant, buyer, seller, lender, investor, steward, regulator
- **Incentives:** access, certainty, control, value, continuity
- **Inputs:** place, people, records, rules, resources, time
- **Outputs:** rights, constraints, uses, relationships, consequences
- **Dependencies:** Promissory Note, Payment History, Escrow Account, Investor Rules

## Archetypal reading

- **Essence:** Reconveyance keeps the long promise operating after the excitement of closing has ended
- **Gift:** Clarity about reconveyance makes a hidden allocation of place, time, authority, value, or risk available for deliberate choice.
- **Wound / Shadow:** When reconveyance is treated as neutral or inevitable, its costs can be shifted to people who hold less information, authority, liquidity, or mobility.
- **Failure mode:** The failure mode appears when reconveyance is stale, opaque, mispriced, misrecorded, overextended, or applied outside the conditions that made it useful.

## Lenses

- **Personal:** Notice where reconveyance appears as a structure in your own commitments: what is held, promised, priced, protected, excluded, or deferred?
- **Business:** Reconveyance reveals a handoff among information, authority, incentives, operating work, and capital. Make the owner of each handoff explicit.
- **Financial:** Reconveyance changes the timing, priority, comparability, liquidity, or distribution of cash flow and risk.
- **Property:** Reconveyance changes how a physical place can be used, valued, financed, transferred, occupied, maintained, or reclaimed.
- **Community:** Reconveyance can create benefits inside one parcel while exporting costs or opportunity to neighbors, institutions, or future residents.

## Divination

The Tension enters the reading through Reconveyance. The issue is not only what is visible; it is which map of ownership, time, risk, authority, or belonging currently governs the situation.

**Question:** What changes when Reconveyance becomes the unit of analysis?

**Guidance:** Shift scale, clock, stakeholder, boundary, and claim layer before choosing a move.
