(a)A judgment lien on real or personal property may be released by an instrument in writing signed by the lienholder or his attorney or by any personal representative who signed the certificate of lien, setting forth that the judgment lien is discharged.
(b)A release of a judgment lien on real property is sufficient if
(1)the release specifies the names of the judgment creditor and judgment debtor, the date of the lien, and the town and volume and page where the judgment lien certificate is recorded, and
(2)the signature of the lienholder, attorney or personal representative is acknowledged and witnessed in the same manner as a deed on real property. The town clerk with whom the lien was recorded shall note such release as by law provided and shall index the record of each such release under the name of the judgment creditor and judgment debtor, except that a manual notation of such release shall not be required if such town clerk provides public access to an electronic indexing system that combines the grantor index and the grantee index of the town's land records.
(c)A release of a judgment lien filed on personal property pursuant to section 52-355a is sufficient if it contains a description of the property released, the name and address of the judgment creditor and judgment debtor, and the file number of the judgment lien certificate in the office of the Secretary of the State. On presentation of such a statement of release to the filing officer in the office of the Secretary of the State, the filing officer shall mark the statement with the hour and date of filing and shall note the same on the index. The release shall be on a form prescribed by the Secretary of the State. On filing, the Secretary of the State may charge the fee prescribed by section 42a-9-525 for filing and indexing a termination statement.
