Morristown NJ Real Estate Mortgage Lien

Posted by Susan Zanzonico on Friday, September 26th, 2008 at 5:44pm.

What is a Mortgage Lien?

In general a mortgage lien is a voluntary lien on real estate given to a lender by a borrower as security for a mortgage loan.  It becomes a lien on real property when the mortgage funds are disbursed and the lender files or records the mortgage with the clerk or registrar of the county where the property is located.  A preferred lien is generally required by mortgage lenders....referred to as a first mortgage lien.  Meaning, that other than taxes, no other major liens against the property take priority over the mortgage lien.  This stipulation does not apply to second mortgages or home equity loans.
