Re: real estate law after a divorse
The secured creditor is the one that need to cancel it. See N.C.G.S. 45-36 et al to learn the proper steps on how to send notice to obtain cancellation. If the secured creditor does not cancel it after you have done what you need to do, you can bring a lawsuit and seek $1,000.00 penalty, costs and reasonable attorneys fees.
