What is an assignable mortgage?

An assignable mortgage is a type of mortgage loan in North Carolina that allows the borrower (homeowner) to transfer the rights and responsibilities associated with the loan to another person or entity. This transfer of rights and responsibilities happens when the borrower assigns the mortgage to the new owner. The mortgaged property itself is not transferred with an assignable mortgage, only the rights and responsibilities associated with the loan. An assignable mortgage is a popular option when a homeowner is moving and needs to take their loan with them. It is also helpful when the homeowner is facing financial difficulties and would like to transfer the rights and responsibilities of their loan to a third party who is more financially stable. When an assignable mortgage is assigned, the new owner typically assumes all of the same duties that the borrower has under the loan agreement. This would typically include the obligation to make payments on the loan, as well as any other financial obligations that are set in the loan agreement. When an assignable mortgage is assigned, it is important that both the borrower and the new owner sign the agreement to ensure that the transfer of rights and responsibilities is valid. Additionally, the agreement should be notarized to further ensure the validity of the transaction. It is also important for both parties to understand the terms of the loan agreement and any associated fees before proceeding with the transaction.
