The Louisiana Mortgage Release/Cancellation Manual [Revised August 1, 2017] is a guide for real estate lenders, services, and brokers in the state of Louisiana to release and cancel mortgages. It outlines the requirements and procedures associated with releasing and cancelling mortgages, including document preparation, filing fees, and recording procedures. There are two types of Louisiana Mortgage Release/Cancellation Manuals: mortgage releases, which release a mortgagor's obligation to pay a mortgage, and mortgage cancellations, which cancel the mortgage from the public record. The manual is revised annually and provides the necessary information to properly release and cancel mortgages in the state of Louisiana.
