3. The debtor and Theresa J. Hunter were divorced April 3, 1980. The divorce decree provided, in pertinent part, as follows:
"11. Second Party (debtor) does hereby agree to pay to First Party (Theresa J. Hunter) as periodic alimony the following sums of money over the following period of time, viz: The sum of TWO HUNDRED AND NO/100ths DOLLARS ($200.00) per month beginning April 1, 1980, for a period of thirty-six (36) months, at which time said periodic alimony shall be increased to the sum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY AND NO/100ths ($250.00) per month for an additional thirty-six (36) and at the expiration of the said second thirty-six months, Second Party shall pay to First Party as periodic alimony the sum of THREE HUNDRED AND NO/100ths DOLLARS ($300.00) per month for forty-nine (49) months. It being the intention of the parties hereto that First Party shall receive from Second Party the total sum of THIRTY THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND NO/100ths DOLLARS ($30,900.00) as periodic alimony over the period of time set forth above."
Payments were secured by a third mortgage on 80 acres of Parcel B, more fully described as follows:
NW ¼ of NE ¼ and N/E ¼ of NE ¼ in Sec. 18, T 17 N, R 12 E, Dallas County, Alabama.
4. The mortgage securing the payments to Theresa Hunter is inferior to the following mortgages:
Mortgage to Sandyland of Alabama, Inc. dated October 31, 1978.
Mortgage to SouthTrust Bank dated April 4, 1980.
5. Paragraph 11 of the divorce decree was modified on June 7, 1984, as follows:
"That the periodic alimony payments due under the Divorce Decree for the months of May 1983 through December 1984 are hereby suspended until January 1, 1985. On January 1, 1985 the Defendant shall begin paying to Plaintiff as periodic alimony the sum of $250.00 per month for a period of thirty-five (35) months and at the expiration of said thirty-five (35) months, Defendant shall pay to Plaintiff as periodic alimony the sum of $300.00 for forty-nine (49) months."
6. Although Theresa Hunter has not remarried, she has been living with another man for several years. Despite his ex-wife's living arrangements, the debtor continued to make monthly payments according to the divorce decree. The debtor testified that on the advice of counsel he did not seek to modify or terminate the monthly payments because they represented a property settlement.
7. On December 4, 1981, the debtor and his current wife, Susan Dennard Summers Tackett Hunter, conveyed Parcel B to Robert J. Hunter, Susan Hunter, and Norman A. Rund. Although the deed purports to convey an undivided one-third (1/3) interest in the property to each party, it is uncontradicted that Norman A. Rund was to receive an undivided one-half (½) interest in the property with the debtor and Susan Hunter each receiving an undivided one-quarter (¼) interest.
8. The December 4, 1981, conveyance of Parcel B was made subject to the first mortgage to Sandyland of Alabama, Inc. and the mortgage to Theresa J. Hunter.
9. Parcels A(1), A(2) and B are subject to the following liens and encumbrances:

Parcel B: Mortgage to Sandyland dated October 31, 1978, recorded November 9, *298 1978. Mortgage payoff as of May 29, 1987: $137,742.34.

Parcels A(1) and B: Mortgage to SouthTrust Bank dated April 4, 1980, recorded April 4, 1980. Mortgage payoff as of May 29, 1987: $31,789.75.

Portion of Parcel B (80 acres): Mortgage to Theresa Hunter dated April 4, 1980, recorded May 12, 1980. No evidence was presented to show the balance due Theresa J. Hunter.

Parcels A(1) and A(2): Mortgage to Altus Bank dated January 15, 1986, recorded January 21, 1986. Mortgage payoff as of May 29, 1987: $95,775.02.

Parcels A(1), A(2), and B: Judgment in favor of Alabama Power Company and against the debtor in the amount of $21,896.47, recorded October 15, 1986.
10. Parcels A(1) and A(2) have a total fair market value of $132,000. Parcel B has a fair market value of $102,000.00.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The debtor has filed the instant complaint seeking to determine the validity, priority and extent of certain liens on his real property. The debtor's primary motivation in filing this action, however, is to void the liens of Theresa Hunter and the Alabama Power Company.
Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code bifurcates an undersecured creditor's claim into secured and unsecured portions. Thus, a creditor has "a secured claim to the extent of the value of his collateral; and he has an unsecured claim for the balance of his claim." S.Rep. No. 95-989, 95th Cong., 2d Sess. 68 (1978), U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News 1978, pp. 5787, 5854. See In re Kruger, 77 B.R. 785 (Bkrtcy.C.D.Cal.1987). Although she has a mortgage on 80 acres of Parcel B, Theresa Hunter has an unsecured claim in this case because her lien is junior to liens exceeding the value of the property. 11 U.S.C. § 506(a); See Matter of Folendore, 862 F.2d 1537 (11th Cir. 1989). Alabama Power Company also does not have an allowed secured claim in the debtor's case for similar reasons. Because Theresa Hunter and the Power Company do not have allowed secured claims, the debtor seeks to void their liens pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 506(d).
Section 506(d) provides that
"(d) to the extent that a lien secures a claim against the debtor that is not an allowed secured claim, such lien is void unless 
(1) such claim was disallowed only under section 502(b)(5) or 503(e) of this title; or
(2) such claim is not an allowed secured claim due only to the failure of any entity to file a proof of claim under section 501 of this title."
In Folendore, supra, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals adopted the majority view that a debtor may use section 506(d) to void a lien even though the bankruptcy court has not disallowed the claim. Construing the 1978 version of section 506(d), the court found it prudent to consider the current version of 506(d) and noted that:
". . . the 1984 amendments to the Bankruptcy Code . . . make it clear that all liens based on unsecured claims are void with two exceptions. . . . After 1984, the debtor need not even make a request under section 502. All unsecured liens are void under section 506 unless (1) the underlying claim was disallowed under section 502(b)(5) or section 502(c), or (2) the underlying claim is not an allowed claim because the lienholder failed to file a proof of claim."
Folendore, supra, at 1539. Neither exception is applicable in the instant case. Accordingly, the debtor may use section 506(d) to void the unsecured liens of Theresa Hunter and the Power Company on his property.
Alabama Power Company's lien attached to the debtor's fractional interests in Parcels A and B; however, Theresa Hunter's mortgage attached to 80 acres of Parcel B prior to the conveyance of Parcel B to the debtor, Susan Hunter, and Norman Rund. The ultimate question is "Does a lien on a non-debtor's interest in property conveyed subject to a lien created by the debtor survive the application of section 506(d) where the debtor conveyed the property *299 prior to filing his bankruptcy petition?" For the following reasons, the Court concludes that section 506(d) cannot be used to void a lien on property that does not belong to the debtor.
Section 506(d) allows a debtor to void a lien to the extent that it secures a claim that "is not an allowed secured claim." In determining whether a claim is secured or unsecured for bankruptcy purposes, the Court looks to the value of the creditor's interest "in the estate's interest in such property." 11 U.S.C. § 506(a). Therefore, the lien that may be avoided under section 506(d) must be a lien on property in which the estate has an interest. 11 U.S.C. § 506(a). Furthermore, the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code creates a bankruptcy estate comprised, in part, of "all legal or equitable interests of the debtor in property as of the commencement of the case." 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1) (emphasis added). The debtor's undivided ¼ interest in parcel B is part of the bankruptcy estate; the interests of Susan Hunter and Norman Rund are not. Accordingly, the debtor may only void Theresa Hunter's lien on his fractional interest in the 80 acres of parcel B. Theresa Hunter's lien remains valid as to Susan Hunter and Norman Rund's fractional interests in the 80 acres of Parcel B.
Theresa Hunter argues, however, that Susan Hunter and Norman Rund became co-debtors or guarantors on her mortgage since they received their interests in Parcel B "subject to" her mortgage. In Trauner v. Lowrey, 369 So.2d 531 (Ala. 1979), the Supreme Court of Alabama addressed a grantee's interest in property when property is conveyed subject to a mortgage. The Court noted that
"In McKleroy v. Dishman, 225 Ala. 131, 134, 142 So. 41, 43 (1932), with regard to a mortgagor's grantee taking subject to the mortgage, this Court stated:
The grantee would take only the equity of redemption, with the right, at his option, to protect his estate by a removal of the mortgage incumbrance. The grantors would remain the sole debtors to the mortgagee; but, if required to pay same, the estate of the mortgagee would revest in them. The grantee of the equity of redemption only could not take a complete unincumbered estate without paying the mortgage debt to whom it inured.
. . . . .
. . . Clearly, the conveyance from Maddox to Eastland was made subject to the Hackmeyer mortgage. As a result of this conveyance Eastland received an equity of redemption which was all that Maddox had to convey. As grantee, Eastland incurred no personal obligation to pay the mortgage, but he had the privilege to do so to protect his interest in the property."
Lowery, supra, at 534 (emphasis added). The Court also recognized that
"In a conveyance made subject to a mortgage, `the mortgagor has no obligation to the transferee to pay [the mortgage debt] for the purpose of relieving the land in the hands of the transferee.' 4 American Law of Property § 16.127 (A.J. Casner ed. 1952). Therefore, Maddox owed Eastland no duty to pay the mortgage debt. As language in McKleroy, supra, suggests, one who takes subject to a mortgage must pay the debt himself in order to take an unencumbered title."
Lowery, supra, at 535. Although Susan Hunter and Norman Rund received their interests in the property subject to Theresa Hunter's mortgage, they are not guarantors or co-debtors on the mortgage. However, in order to take unencumbered title to their fractional interests in the 80 acres of Parcel B, Susan Hunter and Norman Rund must satisfy Theresa Hunter's lien on their interests in the property. Lowery, supra.
The parties have also addressed whether the debt owed Theresa Hunter is dischargeable in the debtor's bankruptcy case. Section 523(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code excepts from discharge any debt for alimony, maintenance or support. See In re Harrell, 754 F.2d 902 (11th Cir.1985). The Court must look to the substance of the divorce agreement and not the label placed on the obligation in determining whether an obligation is in the nature of *300 support. In re Midnet, 84 B.R. 776 (Bkrtcy.M.D.Fla.1988). Although the divorce decree provided that Theresa Hunter was to receive "periodic alimony" payments totaling $30,900.00, a subsequent modification of that decree did not alter the total amount due Theresa Hunter. The Court finds the award not to be "periodic alimony" but to be a property settlement. See In re Delaine, 56 B.R. 460 (Bkrtcy.N. D.Ala.1985). The debt owed Theresa Hunter is therefore dischargeable in the debtor's bankruptcy case. Now, therefore, it is
