Rotate Legal Massachusetts Mortgage Assignment Forms For Free

You may be approved for a mortgage when you make the purchase of an assignment condo, but the transaction closes much later. While you can occupy your unit prior to the final closing in the interim occupancy phase, you only get your final mortgage approval at the final closing.

The assignment transfers all of the interest the original lender had under the mortgage to the new bank. By tracking loan transfers electronically, MERS eliminates the long-standing practice that the lender must record an assignment with the county recorder every time the loan is sold from one bank to another.

When your mortgage is paid off you need to clear the title of the property by discharging the mortgage. This is done by recording a document at the Registry of Deeds usually called either a ?Discharge of Mortgage? or a ?Satisfaction of Mortgage.?

This document was created when a mortgagee wished to recover his money, but the mortgagor could not pay it back. The mortgagee would assign the mortgage to another person, who would pay him the money he was owed.

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.

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.
