How to remove a Mechanic's Lien in Virginia?

I'm a material supplier who filed a mechanic's lien in Virginia due to non payment from the subcontractor. The GC is now wanting the lien removed and the subcontractor has paid. We issued a lien release but the GC is asking the subcontractor to remove the lien from the county. How is that done?

The lien release has to be recorded in the land records of the county where the mechanic's lien was recorded.

Does this need to be done by an attorney? Does your office do this service? And is the responsibility to do the lien release on us for issuing it? Or on the sub? Thanks,

A Certificate of Satisfaction and accompanying affidavit must be filed with the Court.
