The most common example of an Assignment of Mortgage is when a mortgage lender transfers/sells the mortgage to another lender. This can be done more than once until the balance is paid. The lender does not have to inform the borrower that the mortgage is being assigned to another party.

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.

An assignment of mortgage is a legal term that refers to the transfer of the security instrument that underlies your mortgage loan ? aka your home. When a lender sells the mortgage on, an investor effectively buys the note, and the mortgage is assigned to them at this time.

Before a bank can institute a foreclosure proceeding, the bank must record the assignment of the note. The bank must also be in actual possession of the note. If the bank fails to ?produce the note,? that is, cannot demonstrate that the note was assigned to it, the bank cannot demonstrate it owns the note.

But note that an assignment is invalid if it would materially alter the other party's duties and responsibilities. Once an assignment is effective, the assignee stands in the shoes of the assignor and assumes all of assignor's rights.

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.
