EFFECTIVE MARCH 16, 2026

Following the completion of all payments under a confirmed plan in a Chapter 12 or Chapter 13 case, a Debtor may file a Motion requesting an order under FRBP 5009(d) declaring the lien satisfied and declaring the lien has been released under the terms of the completed plan.  The Motion shall be accompanied by a proposed order specifying the holder of the lien and the volume and page of the recordation of the lien on the applicable land records.  The Motion shall be set for hearing.  See Appendix N.

The Motion and Notice of Hearing shall be served by the Debtor in accordance with FRBP 5009 and 7004.  Unless good cause is shown, the Court will not entertain motions to compel the release of such liens or to impose sanctions against creditors who do not release such liens, unless the Debtor first complies with FRBP 5009(d).
