Assumable Mortgages

Assumable Mortgage - An existing mortgage which allows the next purchaser of a property to be liable for the payments and other obligations of the note and mortgage.

Depending on the type of loan, the assumption of the obligation by this next purchaser may or may not require a qualification and approval process and may or may not release the original mortgagor (borrower) from further liability.

A written release from the mortgagee (lender) is required to relieve the original mortgagor of responsibility.
