Mortgage deed

What is a Mortgage Deed? A Mortgage Deed is a legal contract that specifies certain property as collateral in exchange for a loan. With a Mortgage Deed, you can outline the terms and conditions of the loan, and come up with a termination plan. The benefit of Mortgage Deeds is that they give both parties get a sense of security regarding the terms of the arrangement. If you're a borrower, a mortgage deed form allows you to put up your property as collateral in exchange for a loan and helps you protect your legal rights and responsibilities if you're taking out a mortgage on your house, or maybe you're lending someone money and want some security on the loan. They also give the lender an interest in the property as a guarantee of the debt, with rights to the property until the mortgage amount is completely paid off.

A secured creditor

A secured creditor has a security or charge over some or all of the debtor's assets, to provide reassurance (thus to secure him) of ultimate repayment of the debt owed to him. This could be by way of, for example, a mortgage, where the property represents the security. An unsecured creditor does not have a charge over the debtor's assets.[2] The term creditor is frequently used in the financial world, especially in reference to short-term loans, long-term bonds, and mortgage loans. In law, a person who has a money judgment entered in their favor by a court is called a judgment creditor. The term creditor derives from the notion of credit. Also, in modern America, credit refers to a rating which indicates the likelihood a borrower will pay back their loan. In earlier times, credit also referred to reputation or trustworthiness.
