Restrictive Covenant Modification

RESTRICTIVE COVENANT MODIFICATION (UNLAWFULLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANT - GOVERNMENT CODE 12955). This form, titled RESTRICTIVE COVENANT MODIFICATION (UNLAWFULLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANT - GOVERNMENT CODE 12955), This form is used to remove discriminatory language from recorded real estate documents that violate California and federal fair housing laws. These documents—such as deeds, CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions), or other property records—may contain outdated and unlawful restrictions based on protected characteristics like race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability, familial status, national origin, and more. Under California Government Code Section 12956.2, any party with an ownership interest, or those involved in real estate transactions (e.g., title companies, brokers), can initiate the modification process. This form facilitates the redaction and correction of unlawful restrictive covenants by referencing the original document and attaching a copy with the offending language removed. The County Counsel reviews and either approves or denies the modification for recording. The modified document retains the same effective date as the original and is indexed the same way in the public record. www.FormsWorkflow.com
