     507.40 Mortgages, how discharged. 

    A mortgage may be discharged by filing for record a 
 certificate of its satisfaction executed and acknowledged by the 
 mortgagee, the mortgagee's personal representative, or assignee, 
 as in the case of a conveyance.  The county recorder shall enter 
 the number of such certificate and the book and page of its 
 record upon the record of the mortgage or on a microfilm card 
 whenever possible.  If a mortgage be recorded in more than one 
 county and discharged of record in one of them, a certified copy 
 of such discharge may be recorded in another county with the 
 same effect as the original.  If the discharge be by marginal 
 entry, heretofore made, such copy shall include the record of 
 the mortgage.  In all cases the discharge shall be entered in 
 the reception book and indexes as conveyances are entered.
