Document Updates: New York Second Mortgage (Cx501)

New York law does not indicate a specific number of days for a borrower to cure a mortgage default. However, since 1996, the language in the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac First Lien Uniform Instrument for New York shows the number of days for a borrower to cure a default to be at least 30 days from the date on which the notice of default is given.

See 1 Bergman on New York Mortgage Foreclosures § 4.04A.

For consistency between documents, Docutech has updated Paragraph 20(B)(iii) in Cx501 “NY Mortgage Second” to reflect a 30-day cure instead of a 10-day cure.

These changes are available for testing on Stage & Stage 2 servers and will take effect on November 19, 2025. If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, please contact Client Support at 1.800.497.3584.
