Recording Deadlines for Deeds and Assignments
Assembly Bill 1321 (Wiechowski) requires that mortgages, deeds of trust and assignments be recorded within 30 days of the execution or assignment. Further, either the promissory note or a certificate affirming the existence of the promissory note would also have to be attached at the time of recordation. A notice of default could not be recorded until 45 days after the mortgage or deed of trust and any assignment of the mortgage and deed of trust was recorded.
