Description

This form is an Assumption Agreement. The grantor desires to convey certain property to the grantee and the grantee agrees to assume the lien and the loan. The agreement must also be signed in the presence of a notary public. The Arizona Loan Assumption Agreement is a legal document that allows a borrower to transfer their existing mortgage loan to a new borrower while keeping the original terms and conditions intact. This agreement serves as a binding contract between the lender, the original borrower (also known as the "assignor"), and the new borrower (also known as the "assignee"). By signing this agreement, the assignor relinquishes their rights and obligations under the loan to the assignee. The Loan Assumption Agreement is commonly used when a property is sold, and the buyer wishes to assume the existing mortgage instead of obtaining a new loan. This arrangement can be advantageous for both parties involved. The buyer benefits from assuming the loan if the interest rate on the existing mortgage is lower than the current market rates. Additionally, they can avoid the closing costs typically associated with applying for and obtaining a new loan. On the other hand, the lender benefits from this agreement by ensuring that the loan is repaid as agreed upon. They maintain the original terms, including interest rate, loan duration, and remaining balance. However, the lender may require the assignee to meet certain eligibility criteria and go through a qualification process to ensure their ability to repay the loan. In Arizona, there are two primary types of Loan Assumption Agreements: 1. Assumption with Release: This type of agreement releases the original borrower (assignor) from any liability or obligations related to the repayment of the loan. The assignee becomes fully responsible for making future loan payments and complying with all terms outlined in the original loan agreement. 2. Assumption without Release: In this type of agreement, the original borrower (assignor) remains partially liable for the loan even after the transfer. If the assignee fails to fulfill their obligations, the lender can hold the assignor accountable for any deficiencies in loan repayment. It is important for all parties involved to carefully review and understand the terms of the Loan Assumption Agreement before signing. Seeking legal advice is recommended to ensure compliance with Arizona state laws and regulations specific to loan assumptions.
