Worked example: delivery / transfer order filed on Tuesday, September 15, 2026
If delivery / transfer order filed happened today, here is when each deadline would fall depending on how the paper was served. Dates already account for the weekend and holiday roll.
| Deadline | Personal delivery | By mail (+5 days) | NYSCEF e-service (+2 days) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority divestiture deadline | Monday, November 16, 2026 | Thursday, November 19, 2026 | Monday, November 16, 2026 |
Priority divestiture deadline
60 calendar days after delivery / transfer order filed. Creditor divested of priority if the order is not completed within 60 days after filing. Governing rule: CPLR 5234(c) (Article 52, Enforcement of Money Judgments).
How the service method changes the date
The period runs from service, and the method of service can extend it. Under CPLR 2103(b), mail adds 5 calendar days, overnight courier adds 1 business day, and NYSCEF e-service adds 2 days under Uniform Rule 202.5-b(f)(2). Personal delivery adds nothing. When the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or New York public holiday, the deadline rolls to the next business day (CPLR 2103(a); General Construction Law §25-a).
