When a mortgage or deed of trust remains unreleased of record, the mortgagor, grantor, or a successor in interest entitled by law to a release may file a complaint for release of the lien instrument in any county where the lien instrument is recorded. The person bringing the action shall include as defendants all other parties to the instrument unless their interest has been assigned or transferred of record, and in that case their successors in interest. If the court orders the lien instrument released of record, the clerk shall record the release in the manner prescribed by law.
