What’s in it

AI summary People who own real estate loans can now change or extend the due dates on those loans by filing paperwork with the county recorder without needing a formal notarized signature. This change applies to anyone with a mortgage or a contract to buy property. Additionally, when a person signs a mortgage, they are giving the lender permission to make these types of filings on their behalf.¹

Read the official explanation

21 has yet to expire, the owner or assignee of the instrument may show a modification of the maturity date, an extension of the maturity date, or an extension of any associated indebtedness by filing a duly acknowledged extension agreement in the office of the recorder where the instrument was recorded. This bill removes the requirement that an extension agreement be duly acknowledged as the original instrument was required to be acknowledged when a filing of the agreement in the county recorder’s office takes place. _____ documentation evidencing a modification of the maturity date, extension of the instrument, or extension of indebtedness by the holder of the debt or owner or assignee of the instrument is sufficient. In addition, the bill provides that a mortgagor, by authorizing a mortgage or becoming bound under an existing mortgage, authorizes the mortgagee to make the filings specified in the bill.
