Subject To Mortgage Or Trust Deed

Definition of "Subject to mortgage or trust deed"

Situation in which a purchaser acquires mortgaged property and continues to pay the mortgagee for the debt outstanding. Although the new buyer continues to pay the mortgagee for the debt due, the new buyer is not liable for the amount due. In the case of a default, the seller of the property is liable for the remaining debt. In the case of default, only the new purchaser's equity in the property is lost.
