Lien extended
- method
(1)
The lien of a recorded mortgage or deed of trust may be extended without the written agreement of the owner of the property encumbered by such lien by an instrument in writing, signed by the owner of the obligation secured by such lien or by the person, firm, or corporation designated in such mortgage or deed of trust as the trustee for the owner of the obligation, such as a note or bond secured by such lien or by the successor in office of such named trustee. Such instrument shall clearly describe the mortgage or deed of trust, shall state the date to which the lien has been extended, and shall be recorded before the expiration of the fifteen-year period described in section 38-39-201 (1) in the office of the county clerk and recorder of the county wherein the property is located. The date to which such lien is extended by such instrument shall in no event be later than fifteen years after the recording date of such instrument.(2)
Additional and further extensions may be recorded from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this section in order to extend the lien of such mortgage or deed of trust. The original extension and all additional and further extensions shall, in no event, extend the lien of the original mortgage or trust deed beyond a total of thirty years without the written agreement of the owner of the property encumbered by such lien. Each successive extension must be recorded during the time that such mortgage or deed of trust constitutes a lien under the terms of this article and before the expiration of the respective period for which the lien of such mortgage or deed of trust may have been extended in accordance with the terms of this article.(3)
The lien of a recorded mortgage or deed of trust may be extended for so long as agreed, by an instrument in writing, signed by the owner of the obligation secured by such lien and the owner of the property encumbered by such lien and recorded in the office of the county clerk and recorder of the county in which such property is located.(4)
The term “thirty years”, as used in this section, means thirty years after the original maturity date of such mortgage or deed of trust.
