Any person interested, as a subsequent encumbrancer or otherwise, in any real or personal property covered by a judgment lien may apply to the court for discharge of the lien as to a portion of the property, alleging that the lien covers more than sufficient property to reasonably secure the judgment. The court may, on notice to all interested parties and on proof of such allegation, discharge from the lien any of the property which is not needed for the reasonable security of the judgment debt. The judgment creditor shall release any property so discharged by sending a release sufficient under section 52-380d by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the judgment debtor.
