      1.  A borrower may at any time personally deliver or send by certified mail, return receipt requested, written notice to the lender stating that the borrower elects to terminate the operation of an instrument as security for future advances of principal made after the lender receives the notice. The notice:

      (a) Must be delivered or sent to the lender at each address provided for the lender in the instrument or, if applicable, at each address provided for the lender in a document which is effective pursuant to subsection 5; and

      (b) Does not become effective until it is received by the lender.

      2.  Within 4 business days after receiving the notice, the lender must record in the office of the county recorder in which the instrument was recorded a statement that:

      (a) Expressly refers to the instrument by:

             (1) The date on which the instrument was recorded in the office of the county recorder; and

             (2) The book, page and document number, as applicable, of the instrument as recorded;

      (b) Contains the legal description of the encumbered real property;

The borrower’s statement has the same effect as the lender’s statement would have had if the lender had recorded the statement required by subsection 2.

      4.  If a lender wishes to receive notices pursuant to this section at an address other than the address for the lender provided in the instrument, if any, the lender must:

      (a) Record, in the office of the county recorder in which the instrument was recorded, a document entitled “Change of Notice Address” that includes, without limitation, the address at which the lender wishes to receive notices pursuant to this section; and

      (b) Personally deliver or send by certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of the document to the borrower at each address provided for the borrower in the instrument, if any.

      5.  A document recorded pursuant to subsection 4 does not become effective until it is received by the borrower.
