Document Updates: Trustee Address Added to Second Lien Deeds of Trust

To be more consistent with the information required in the “Parties” definitions in the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac first lien security instrument model forms, Docutech has added the Trustee address to all second lien Deeds of Trust.

Small grammatical updates have also been made so that the references “Trustor,” “Trustee,” “Grantor,” “Grantee,” and “Lender” appear directly after the corresponding populated fields.

Consequently, the following documents have been updated:

Cx467              AK Deed of Trust Second
Cx470              AZ Deed of Trust Second
Cx471              CA Deed of Trust Second
Cx472              CO Deed of Trust Second
Cx474              DC Deed of Trust Second
Cx480              ID Deed of Trust Second
Cx487              MD Deed of Trust Second
Cx492              MS Deed of Trust Second
Cx491              MO Deed of Trust Second
Cx493              MT Deed of Trust Second
Cx496              NE Deed of Trust Second
Cx500              NV Deed of Trust Second
Cx494              NC Deed of Trust Second
Cx504              OR Deed of Trust Second
Cx509              TN Deed of Trust Second
Cx510              TX Deed of Trust Second
Cx511              UT Deed of Trust Second
Cx512              VA Deed of Trust Second
Cx514              WA Deed of Trust Second
Cx516              WV Deed of Trust Second

Additionally, for the State of Virginia, previous language referring to the Trustee as “a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia” has been replaced with “a Virginia resident and/or a United States- or Virginia-organized corporation or other permissible entity.”

These changes are available for testing on Stage & Stage 2 servers and will take effect on May 6, 2025. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Client Support at 1.800.497.3584.

UPDATE:

For Cx509 “TN Deed of Trust Second” and Cx516 “WV Deed of Trust Second”, the full Trustee address does not print because the language consistent with the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac first lien security instrument model forms (“a resident of” and “who resides at”, respectively) prints the applicable county when Field 2014 “Trustee Resident Of” is populated.

UPDATE:

For Cx472 “CO Deed of Trust Second”, the full Trustee address does not print because the language consistent with the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac first lien security instrument model form (“is the Public Trustee of ____________________ County, Colorado) prints the applicable county when Field 1278 “Property County” is populated.

These changes are available for testing on Stage & Stage 2 servers and will take effect June 20, 2025. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Client Support at 1.800.497.3584.
