Connecticut Release of Security Interest — Termination Statement is a legal document used to formally revoke and terminate a security interest that was previously granted. This document is typically filed with the Connecticut Secretary of State's office, and its purpose is to notify interested parties that the debtor's obligation to the secured party has been satisfied or released. A Connecticut Release of Security Interest — Termination Statement includes specific details about the original security agreement. It identifies the original debtor and secured party, including their names, addresses, and contact information. The termination statement also includes a description of the collateral or property that was initially provided as security for a loan or debt. This document plays a crucial role in the state's Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) provisions, which govern secured transactions. By filing a termination statement, the secured party ensures that any potential claims on the collateral are extinguished, and the debtor's obligations are fully satisfied. In Connecticut, there are two types of Release of Security Interest — Termination Statements: 1. Voluntary Termination Statement: This is the most common type where the debtor voluntarily requests the termination of the security interest. Once the debtor has paid off the underlying debt or fulfilled the obligations specified in the security agreement, they can file a voluntary termination statement to release the security interest. 2. Involuntary Termination Statement: In some cases, the termination of a security interest may happen involuntarily due to certain circumstances, such as a court order or the expiration of the statute of limitations. An involuntary termination statement is filed by the party responsible for initiating the termination, usually with appropriate legal documentation provided to support the termination. By filing either type of termination statement accurately, debtors can ensure that the security interest is officially released, protecting them from potential disputes or claims in the future. The termination statement serves as evidence that the debtor has fulfilled their obligations under the original security agreement, providing them with peace of mind and legal clarity.
