Document Updates: Affixation Affidavit (Cx43)

Written by Fred Gooch | Mar 10, 2026 5:28:35 PM

We are updating our Affixation Affidavit (Cx43) so it will no longer be checked as an “Other Rider” on the Security Instrument. The document will continue to print in a recordable format, including required margins, but will now be a standalone recordable document rather than as a rider to the Security Instrument.

Following a comprehensive state-by-state review, we determined that the prevailing practice is to record the Affixation Affidavit as a separate instrument. While most jurisdictions permit the Affidavit to be recorded as a rider, we have encountered rejection issues in certain counties that require it to be recorded independently.

This change will be available for testing on Stage & Stage 2 servers and will take effect on March 17, 2026. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Client Support at 1.800.497.3584.
