Rotate Legal Maine Mortgage Assignment Forms For Free

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.

In real estate wholesaling, an assignment fee is a financial obligation from one party (the ?assignor?) who agrees to transfer their contractual obligations to another party (the ?assignee.?) In layman's terms, the assignment fee is the fee paid by the end buyer to the real estate wholesaler.

An "assignment" is the document that is the legal record of this transfer from one mortgagee to another. In a typical transaction, when the mortgagee sells the debt to another bank, an assignment is recorded, and the promissory note is endorsed (signed over) to the new bank.

Both the note and the mortgage can be assigned. To assign the note and mortgage is to transfer ownership of the note and mortgage. Once the note is assigned, the person to whom it is assigned, the assignee, can collect payment under the note.

Even if a promissory note is lost, the legal obligation to repay the loan remains. Borrowers may not avoid foreclosure on their property, for example, simply on the basis of a lost promissory note.

The Court's holding requires that prior to the assignee of a mortgage loan filing suit on the note or mortgage, the assignee must have received both an allonge/assignment of the note and an assignment of the mortgage.
