legal defeasance
Legally permitted removal of the outstanding debt (and the associated assets held in escrow) from the account books of the issuer of a bond. This action terminates the rights and the liens of the bondholders on the issuer's assets and occurs when either their claims have been fully satisfied or a provision has been for their satisfaction, such as through a new issue of bonds.
