To cancel a mortgage with this form, the obligation is documented as paid or cancelled (R.S. 44107) and a notary executes a release certifying the obligation was presented. The package may also include a bankruptcy discharge affidavit (R.S. 44111) and affidavits for lost notes or title-insurance cancellation (R.S. 95167E; R.S. 95167.1) to finalize cancellation and public-record updates.

This form is tailored to Louisiana and includes not just a release but a set of required affidavits and procedures: a notary's release (R.S. 44107), a bankruptcy discharge affidavit (R.S. 44111), an affidavit to cancel by a title-insurance officer (R.S. 95167.1), and lost-note affidavits (R.S. 95167E).
