Re: Real Estate Law
The mortgage is the security interest in the property and must mirror the deed. In other words, all owners must sign the mortgage to pledge the property as collaterol.
The promissory note on the other hand may be signed by only one owner (the person borrowing the money).
I hope this answers your questions, if you should need any further assistance, you may contact me at anytime.
