     § 3409.  Release of liens.
        (a)  General rule.--Before conveying a unit, other than by
     deed in lieu of foreclosure, to a purchaser other than a
     declarant, a declarant shall record or furnish to the purchaser
     releases of all liens affecting that unit and its common element
     interest which the purchaser does not expressly agree to take
     subject to or assume, or shall provide a surety bond or
     substitute collateral for or insurance against the lien adequate
     in nature and amount. This subsection does not apply to any
     convertible or withdrawable real estate in which no unit has
     been conveyed.
        (b)  Other liens.--Before conveying real estate to the
     association, the declarant shall have the real estate released
     from:
            (1)  All liens, the foreclosure of which would deprive
        unit owners of any right of access to or easements of support
        of their units.
            (2)  All other liens on that real estate unless the
        public offering statement describes certain real estate which
        may be conveyed subject to liens in specified amounts.
