New York Assignment of Mortgage Without Covenant is an agreement between a lender and a borrower that gives the lender the right to transfer the mortgage loan to another party without requiring the borrower to sign off on the transfer. The assigning party retains all the rights of the original mortgage, except the right to collect payments from the borrower. This type of mortgage transfer is typically used when the borrower has defaulted on the loan, and the lender wants to transfer the loan to another party who is willing to assume the loan. There are two types of New York Assignment of Mortgage Without Covenant: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary assignment occurs when the borrower voluntarily transfers the loan to another party without the lender's consent. An involuntary assignment occurs when the lender transfers the loan due to the borrower's defaulting on the loan.
