A mortgage is a legally binding agreement between a home buyer and a lender that dictates a borrower's ability to pay off a loan. Every mortgage has an interest rate, a term length, and specific fees attached to it.

Written by Attorney Todd Carney . Updated November 26, 2021
If you’re like most people who want to purchase a home, you’ll start by going to a bank or other lender to get a mortgage loan. Though you can choose your lender, after the mortgage loan is processed, your mortgage may be transferred to a different mortgage servicer . A transfer is also called an assignment of the mortgage.
No matter what it’s called, this change of hands may also change who you’re supposed to make your house payments to and how the foreclosure process works if you default on your loan. That’s why if you’re a homeowner, it’s important to know how this process works. This article will provide an in-depth look at what an assignment of a mortgage entails and what impact it can have on homeownership.
Assignment of Mortgage – The Basics
When your original lender transfers your mortgage account and their interests in it to a new lender, that’s called an assignment of mortgage. To do this, your lender must use an assignment of mortgage document. This document ensures the loan is legally transferred to the new owner. It’s common for mortgage lenders to sell the mortgages to other lenders. Most lenders assign the mortgages they originate to other lenders or mortgage buyers.
Home Loan Documents
When you get a loan for a home or real estate, there will usually be two mortgage documents. The first is a mortgage or, less commonly, a deed of trust . The other is a promissory note. The mortgage or deed of trust will state that the mortgaged property provides the security interest for the loan. This basically means that your home is serving as collateral for the loan. It also gives the loan servicer the right to foreclose if you don’t make your monthly payments. The promissory note provides proof of the debt and your promise to pay it.
When a lender assigns your mortgage, your interests as the mortgagor are given to another mortgagee or servicer. Mortgages and deeds of trust are usually recorded in the county recorder’s office. This office also keeps a record of any transfers. When a mortgage is transferred so is the promissory note. The note will be endorsed or signed over to the loan’s new owner. In some situations, a note will be endorsed in blank, which turns it into a bearer instrument. This means whoever holds the note is the presumed owner.
Using MERS To Track Transfers
Banks have collectively established the Mortgage Electronic Registration System , Inc. (MERS), which keeps track of who owns which loans. With MERS, lenders are no longer required to do a separate assignment every time a loan is transferred. That’s because MERS keeps track of the transfers. It’s crucial for MERS to maintain a record of assignments and endorsements because these land records can tell who actually owns the debt and has a legal right to start the foreclosure process.

Assignment of Mortgage Requirements and Effects
The assignment of mortgage needs to include the following:
The original information regarding the mortgage. Alternatively, it can include the county recorder office’s identification numbers.
The borrower’s name.
The mortgage loan’s original amount.
The date of the mortgage and when it was recorded.
Usually, there will also need to be a legal description of the real property the mortgage secures, but this is determined by state law and differs by state.
Notice Requirements
The original lender doesn’t need to provide notice to or get permission from the homeowner prior to assigning the mortgage. But the new lender (sometimes called the assignee) has to send the homeowner some form of notice of the loan assignment. The document will typically provide a disclaimer about who the new lender is, the lender’s contact information, and information about how to make your mortgage payment. You should make sure you have this information so you can avoid foreclosure.
Mortgage Terms
When an assignment occurs your loan is transferred, but the initial terms of your mortgage will stay the same. This means you’ll have the same interest rate, overall loan amount, monthly payment, and payment due date. If there are changes or adjustments to the escrow account, the new lender must do them under the terms of the original escrow agreement. The new lender can make some changes if you request them and the lender approves. For example, you may request your new lender to provide more payment methods.
Taxes and Insurance
If you have an escrow account and your mortgage is transferred, you may be worried about making sure your property taxes and homeowners insurance get paid. Though you can always verify the information, the original loan servicer is responsible for giving your local tax authority the new loan servicer’s address for tax billing purposes. The original lender is required to do this after the assignment is recorded. The servicer will also reach out to your property insurance company for this reason.
If you’ve received notice that your mortgage loan has been assigned, it’s a good idea to reach out to your loan servicer and verify this information. Verifying that all your mortgage information is correct, that you know who to contact if you have questions about your mortgage, and that you know how to make payments to the new servicer will help you avoid being scammed or making payments incorrectly.
Let's Summarize…
In a mortgage assignment, your original lender or servicer transfers your mortgage account to another loan servicer. When this occurs, the original mortgagee or lender’s interests go to the next lender. Even if your mortgage gets transferred or assigned, your mortgage’s terms should remain the same. Your interest rate, loan amount, monthly payment, and payment schedule shouldn’t change.
Your original lender isn’t required to notify you or get your permission prior to assigning your mortgage. But you should receive correspondence from the new lender after the assignment. It’s important to verify any change in assignment with your original loan servicer before you make your next mortgage payment, so you don’t fall victim to a scam.

What Is Corporate Assignment of a Mortgage?

An assignment of a mortgage occurs when a loan for a piece of property (home or otherwise) is assigned to another party. In some cases, the other party might be an official lender that takes over the loan. A corporate assignment of a mortgage occurs when the third party that assumes the obligation for the loan is a corporation. Again, this corporation might be a lender that is officially incorporated, or it might be some other business (or even individual) that is legally considered a corporation.
Advertisement
During a corporate assignment of a mortgage, the legal obligation of one or the other party toward the mortgage is altered. The bank may choose to assign the mortgage to another lender, or the borrower may choose to assign the mortgage to a third-party corporation. In either case, the transfer initiates a change in the relationship that the parties have toward the mortgage, and since mortgages involve property and financial obligations toward it, the assignment results in a legal change in the status of the property ownership.
Video of the Day
Significance
Corporate assignment of a mortgage occurs most frequently during the foreclosure process. The original--or current--lender for the mortgage may choose to transfer the mortgage to a different lender. On the other hand, the borrower who is paying on the loan may also choose to transfer the obligation of that loan to a third party, who will then assume the responsibility of making the payments. Both occurrences result in a corporate assignment of a mortgage, although the obligations about notification are different in both cases.
Requirements
When one lender transfers the loan to another, the assignment of the mortgage becomes a simple piece of paperwork within the mortgage documents. In fact, the borrower might not find out about the assignment until a change in the loan occurs. When a borrower assigns the mortgage to a third party corporation, however, the borrower must file official paperwork to record the assignment. The paperwork is simple, and forms are available online.
Considerations
A corporate assignment of a mortgage is a fully legal transfer, but the requirements about documentation and filing vary by state. In the case of borrowers who plan to transfer the mortgage to a third-party corporation, it is important to research state laws by contacting the state real estate board and to consult real estate attorneys for guidance before signing any forms. An incorrectly documented transfer might create a continued obligation on the original borrower.
Expert Insight
Mortgage assignments between lenders have become increasingly common, and they can create problems not only for borrowers who run into financial difficulty, but for home buyers interested in a piece of property. As a result, real estate experts caution home buyers to research the title of the property to ensure that any assignment of a mortgage was completed fully and that there are not multiple claims on the property.

Understanding How Assignments of Mortgage Work

The bank or other mortgage lender that provides a borrower with the funds to purchase a home often later transfers or assigns its interest in the mortgage to another firm. When this happens, the borrower will start sending monthly mortgage payments to the new owner of the mortgage instead of the original lender. Some other things, such as the available modes of payment, many also change. However, the general terms of the mortgage, such as the interest rate and payment amounts, will stay the same.
If you need help with a mortgage, consider finding a financial advisor to work with .
Mortgage Assignment Basics
Mortgages are assigned using a document called an assignment of mortgage. This legally transfers the original lender’s interest in the loan to the new company. After doing this, the original lender will no longer receive the payments of principal and interest. However, by assigning the loan the mortgage company will free up capital. This allows the original lender to make more loans and generate additional origination and other fees.
At closing, borrowers sign a document granting the original lender the right to assign the mortgage elsewhere. This means the original lender doesn’t have to ask for permission to assign the mortgage but can do so whenever it wants to. Often this occurs within a few months after the closing, but it can happen at any time during the term of a mortgage. Once a loan has been assigned, it can be assigned again.
The assignment of mortgage document uses several pieces of information to accurately identify the specific mortgage that is being transferred. These generally include:
- The name of the borrower
- The date of the mortgage
- The jurisdiction where it was recorded
- The amount of money that was originally loaned
- A legal description of the home or other property used as collateral to secure the loan.
Although a lender doesn’t need to request the borrower’s permission before assigning a mortgage, the lender does have to notify the borrower after the mortgage has been assigned. This notice will generally provide the new lender’s name, contact information and mailing address or other information need to make payments.
Effects of Mortgage Assignment

When a mortgage is assigned, the original terms of the mortgage remain unchanged. The monthly principal and interest, interest rate and total number of payments required to pay the loan off will be the same as on the mortgage when it was signed at closing.
A company assigned a mortgage may have different methods of accepting monthly payments, such as online payments, paper checks or money orders. A borrower who wants more payment methods may be able to get a new mortgage holder to provide them upon request.
Some things may change, however. For instance, the new owner of the mortgage may have a different method of handling escrow payments that are used to pay property taxes and the premiums for hazard insurance. The law requires mortgage companies to charge no more than one-twelfth the annual cost of property taxes and insurance each month. However, they can also require borrowers to maintain a cushion of up to one-sixth the annual total required to pay taxes and insurance. If a new mortgage company has a different policy on this cushion, it could change the total monthly payment.
The borrower also does not need to notify the local taxing authorities or the hazard insurance provider about the assignment. The new holder of the mortgage is required to handle these notifications.
Borrowers should check the information about where payments are supposed to go. This need to be accurate so payments will be directed correctly to the holder of the mortgage and the borrower will receive credit for them.
Another important matter that may change when a loan is assigned is the procedure the mortgage company will follow in the event of default. Borrowers should make themselves familiar with the notification methods used by the new mortgage to let them know if payments are not being received and foreclosure is in the offing.
The Bottom Line

Home mortgages are often assigned by their original lenders to other companies. Assignment usually doesn’t change much for the borrower, except that the payments will go to a different address. The original loan amount, interest payment, term and monthly principal and interest part of the payment will stay the same. Assigning mortgages frees up money for the lenders to make more loans. Borrowers don’t have to be told a mortgage will be assigned, since they agree to this at closing. However, they must be notified after an assignment and told how to contact the new mortgage holder.

US existing home sales slump to more than 13-year low, prices accelerate
U.S. existing home sales dropped to the lowest level in more than 13 years in October as the highest mortgage rates in two decades and a dearth of houses drove buyers from the market.

"The combination of high prices, high mortgage rates, and millions of homeowners unwilling to move, given they've locked in low rates, has frozen the market," said Robert Frick, corporate economist at Navy Federal Credit Union in Vienna, Virginia.

What Is an Assignment of Mortgage?
Please fill the form to the right for a free consultation if you need an assignment/robo audit/document signature audit, or go to https://www.mortgageauditsonline.com/
An assignment of mortgage is a document which indicates that a mortgage has been transferred from the original lender or borrower to a third party. Assignments of mortgage are more commonly seen when lenders sell mortgages to other lenders. When someone has what is known as an assumable mortgage, it is possible for the borrower to transfer the mortgage to another person, in which case an assignment of mortgage will need to be filed to record the transaction.
This document indicates that the loan obligation has been transferred. It usually describes the property so that there is no confusion about which piece of real estate is under discussion. It should include the name of the original party, along with the name of the third party, with contact information and the date that the assignment of mortgage becomes valid. In the case of an assignment of mortgage between lenders, the document notes the identity of the borrower, while assumed mortgages identify the lender and indicate that the transfer took place between borrowers.
Lenders routinely sell mortgages, and in fact a mortgage may be transferred multiple times before it has been paid off. Lenders are not required to notify borrowers when they sell mortgages, and borrowers do not have an opportunity to contest the sale. The new lender is required to send out a notification indicating that a sale took place and providing information about how to make mortgage payments to the new lender. The borrower may attempt to negotiate a change in terms, or if the borrower does not want to work with the new lender, it may be possible to apply for a new mortgage to pay off the old one.
With an assumable mortgage, the issue is a bit trickier. Lenders do not want borrowers to assign their mortgages to people who cannot keep up with the payments, as then they will be faced with having to foreclose and sell the property, and this adds to the expense of servicing the loan. As a result, people who wish to assume a mortgage must demonstrate that they are financially capable of taking on the loan, and that they fully understand the terms of the loan.
An assignment of mortgage will be filed in the same government office which handles ownership records, property taxes, and related matters. People should be aware that sometimes an assignment of mortgage is not recorded for several months, especially if there is a backlog of documenting material which needs to be gone through.
If borrowers receive a notice in the mail indicating that their mortgage has been transferred, they should call their lenders to confirm the sale and ask who the mortgage was sold to. It is also advisable to check the records office to confirm that an assignment of mortgage has been followed. Borrowers should be aware that some scammers prey on people by claiming that their mortgages have been transferred when this is not actually the case.

What Is an Assignment of Mortgage?
- Post author: Dean Adams
- Post published: December 3, 2020
- Post category: Real Estate Investor
A mortgage is a loan secured by a real estate investor to procure or buy a property. It is a debt instrument that the borrower is obliged to meet with agreed terms of payment. The collateral of a specific real estate property secures a mortgage.
In this article, we will be talking about the assignment of the mortgage. What does this term mean? How does it work? Is the assignment of mortgage important? These are some questions that will be answered as we proceed with this article.
Defining Assignment of Mortgage
Assignment of mortgage is defined as a document that transfers a mortgage from the original lender to another lender. Assignment of mortgage can happen more than once, even without the knowledge of the borrower. This may be done over again until the mortgage balance is paid.
However, the lender is required to send the borrower a notice to inform him of the sale and a copy of what the terms of mortgage payments are. Terms and conditions of the transaction may vary, depending on the agreement of the mortgagee, and the Assignments of mortgage are frequently seen when the lender sells a mortgage to another lender.
A reason for the execution of the mortgage assignment is when the mortgage becomes delinquent, and the mortgagee feels that the mortgagor has no interest in doing something about it.
How the Assignment of Mortgage Works?
As defined, the mortgage assignment happens when the original mortgagee (the assignor) transfers the mortgage to a buyer (the assignee), who will turn out to be the new lender of the real property owner. In other words, he sells the mortgage to another lender without letting the borrower know of his intent to sell.
However, upon completing the mortgage assignment with a third party, the mortgagee must let the borrower know about the transactions. He must send the necessary documents to the borrower indicating important details such as the name of the new lender, contact information, and their agreement regarding predetermined payments and other terms of the transaction.
Assignors can benefit from the assignment of a mortgage. Property taxes , occupancy fees, and closing costs may be too costly for the lender.
Benefits of Assignment of Mortgage
The mortgagor may be experiencing financial difficulties himself or is moving out; hence, the selling of the mortgaged property happens. Mortgage assignments can free the lender of these costs. For the assignee or the third party buyer, assigning mortgages would mean acquiring a real estate property at a discounted price.
The agreement can help the assignee save thousands of dollars, to his benefit, of course. Another advantage of the transfer of a mortgage to the third party buyer is aside from acquiring a new unit at a discounted price, and the maintenance fees may be lower, too.
Getting a land transfer tax benefit may also be among the advantages of the assignment of a mortgage to an assignor.
Borrower’s Benefit
The borrowers cannot contest the sale or assignment of mortgage. However, if the borrower wants to stop or do something about the mortgage assignments, he can apply for a new mortgage and pays off the old one.
The transfer of mortgages may benefit the borrower, in a way. In cases where the borrower is under financial stress, his mortgage payments may be affected. If this happens, the possibility of foreclosure is high. Assignment of mortgage can prevent foreclosure because it will be like getting a new loan.
In other words, the amount of the balance of the delinquent mortgage of the original loan will be paid off by the transfer of the mortgage.
How Assigning Mortgages to Third Parties Work?

In simple terms, the mortgage assignment transfers a mortgage from the first mortgagee to a third-party mortgagor. In other words, the mortgagee sells the mortgage to another lender. This process may be done several times until the borrower pays off the loan.
A mortgage assignment must be recorded in the county record. This is made so the assignment of the rights under the mortgage of the original bank may be assigned. If and when the owner of the home does not meet the mortgage, then the foreclosure process may be initiated.
However, if the assignment of mortgage was not properly executed, the foreclosure can be challenged by the real estate property owner.
Challenging Foreclosure
How will the borrowers know if the assignments of mortgages are valid or not? Borrowers must understand the necessary documents, basic terms, and the persons involved in mortgage transfers.
When making a loan, closing a deal with a lender would require the real property owner to sign documents. Such documents include a deed of trust (mortgage) and a promissory note. A deed of trust is an assurance that the loan is secured, the evidence of which is represented by the promissory note.
Assignments of mortgage is a common transaction with banks. Since the assignment of the mortgage refers to the transferring of a mortgage from a lender to another lender, the transaction must be supported by a document known as the “Assignment.”
This document should include important information like the names of the current owner and the new owner, the name of the debtor, the amount of the initial mortgage, records of the first mortgage containing pertinent information, and the legal description of the real estate property. The homeowner should be provided with the documents or a note to inform him of the assignment of the mortgage.
Seeking Legal Advice
Once the owner of the home has even the slightest hint of doubt regarding the transaction, seeking legal advice is recommended. Find the right lawyer, a lawyer whose expertise is on this subject. An attorney can help you determine the legality of the transaction.
Take note; once the mortgage assignment is not executed correctly, then the lawyer can help you pursue a case to challenge the foreclosure of your property. An attorney who is familiar with this subject knows the ins and outs of the process.
Therefore, hiring one to help you out with the case is essential. Make sure you make a note of important details and have a copy of every document. Among these documents are the deed of trust (assures the security of the loan), a copy of the mortgage assignment, a notice from the creditor that the mortgage has been transferred, and other necessary documents.
It is crucial to find the right lawyer to help out, not only if you are facing a foreclosure issue, but to guide you with the process. Finding an attorney who has enough knowledge about real estate processes can help you make sure that the assigned mortgage was executed correctly and that the transaction records are kept.
An owner of the home may not have enough information about mortgage assignments. Therefore, it is vital to find an attorney who can ensure the security of your property and the mortgage.

It cannot be denied that loans are part of our lives, especially during difficult times. It is also innate in humans to dream of acquiring a home or a real estate property. To realize this dream, people acquire properties through mortgage loans. Things can run smoothly at first.
However, a time comes when a financial crisis happens. In this case, loan payments, especially mortgages, might be affected. Is this the end of your happy life? Will your property be foreclosed? If you will not do something about it, foreclosure is possible.
However, there are several options to saving your property from foreclosure, especially if the lender demands that you settle your account. In this case, the mortgage is assigned to another lender. This process is called an assignment of mortgage, where your debt is transferred to another lender by the first lender. This is like restructuring your loan.
The only thing is, it happens with another lender. Assignment of mortgage is one way to pay off the mortgage on the first lender while extending the term of your mortgage, therefore, preventing foreclosure. As a lender, be responsible for executing the assignment of mortgage properly. It should appear on the county record and has to follow legal procedures.
This will not only free the borrower of his obligations to you but will also secure the transaction and the interest of the parties involved. As a borrower, take note of all the necessary information. Read related articles to make you more knowledgeable on the subject.
Once the a ssignment of mortgage is made, a borrower will be dealing with another creditor and not the one with whom the initial mortgage was acquired. To avoid encountering problems with a mortgage, make sure you settle your dues. If such situations occur, communicate with the creditor and discuss ways to resolve the issue.
