Loan Maturity
Loan maturity is the point when the final scheduled payment on a loan is due.
Loan maturity is the point when a loan's final scheduled payment is due. The maturity date identifies the end of the stated repayment period; it does not by itself show that the payment was made.
Property operations example: record the maturity date from the current loan documents and identify the loan it belongs to. Keep that scheduled date separate from evidence of a completed payoff or a replacement loan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does reaching the maturity date prove the loan was paid off?
No. Maturity identifies when the final payment is due. Completed repayment requires separate payment and lender records.
