Uniform Mortgage Modification Act of 2025 clarifies mortgage modification laws.

The Uniform Mortgage Modification Act of 2025 aims to clarify and simplify the law governing mortgage modifications. It establishes safe harbors for common modifications, ensuring that the mortgage retains its priority and does not become a novation. Modifications within the safe harbors include extending the maturity date, decreasing the interest rate, and capitalizing unpaid interest. The act does not affect laws governing the content of mortgages, statutes of limitations, recording statutes, or the priority of governmental liens.
