In general a lender has 15 days once notified to release a mortgage to avoid penalty.
((1) a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500) for the failure, neglect, or refusal of the owner, holder, or custodian to:
(A) release;
(B) discharge; and
(C) satisfy of record the mortgage or lien; and
(2) costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in enforcing the release, discharge, or satisfaction of record of the mortgage or lien.
(c) If the court finds in favor of a plaintiff who files an action to recover damages under subsection (b), the court shall award the plaintiff the costs of the action and reasonable attorney's fees as a part of the judgment.
(d) The court may appoint a commissioner and direct the commissioner to release and satisfy the mortgage, mechanic's lien, judgment, or other lien. The costs incurred in connection with releasing and satisfying the mortgage, mechanic's lien, judgment, or other lien shall be taxed as a part of the costs of the action. (e) The owner, holder, or custodian, by virtue of having recorded the mortgage, mechanic's lien, judgment, or other lien in Indiana, submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of Indiana as to any action arising under this section.) (IC 32-28-1-2 (b)(1))
IC 32-29-1-6 Payment in full; release and discharge of mortgage
Sec. 6. After a mortgagee of property whose mortgage has been recorded has received full payment from the mortgagor of the sum specified in the mortgage, the mortgagee shall, at the request of the mortgagor, enter in the record of the mortgage that the mortgage has been satisfied. An entry in the record showing that a mortgage has been satisfied operates as a complete release and discharge of the mortgage.
((a) It is lawful for:
(1) the president, vice president, cashier, secretary, treasurer, attorney in fact, or other authorized representative of a national bank, state bank, trust company, or savings bank; or
(2) the president, vice president, general manager, secretary, treasurer, attorney in fact, or other authorized representative of any other corporation doing business in Indiana;
to release upon the record mortgages, judgments, and other record liens upon the payment of the debts secured by the liens.) (IC 32-29-5-1)

Really fast turn around time, and was provided exactly what I was looking for this time. This is my first experience with this site. It would have been cool to also get a document depicting/describing a property line, but like I said before, exactly what I was looking for this time.
Thank you so much for your feedback Altaray, we really appreciate it.

I thought the forms were reasonably priced, the instructions included in the packet were thorough, and the examples helpful. Thank you for the additional CDR forms too. I contacted the Recorder's office via email with a question and Jennifer Bowser answered promptly. Job well done! However, when I delivered the deed and Real Property Transfer Declaration to the Clerk's office in Lafayette, the clerk was unfamiliar with the Declaration document being submitted and it took some time to convince her to submit the form without charging the recording fee. She even tried to phone the recorder's office for clarification, but no one answered. There then was an additional form at that office that I had to complete called Recording Request/Transmittal Form. I would suggest including that form with instructions in your on-line packet to speed up the process when a Deed is delivered to the County Clerk's satellite office. I do not expect every clerk to know all the particulars of recording requirements but a little knowledge wouldn't hurt.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Contents were well done. Could not remove and replace the "Deeds/" footer, rendering the form unusable for filing with a court and county deed records. This should be corrected.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
