If it falls on a weekend or holiday
- Title commitment delivered (at least X days before Closing): Because it counts backward from Closing, a weekend or holiday moves it earlier.
- Buyer's title objections due: If it lands on a weekend or holiday, it moves to the next business day.
Calendar days, based on where the property is located. Any period or date that ends on a Saturday, Sunday, or national legal holiday (or observed holiday) extends to the next calendar day that isn't one (Standard F). Periods counted backward from Closing ('at least X days prior to Closing') move to the prior non-weekend, non-holiday day. Deadlines end at 11:59 p.m. local time.
