The purpose of an assumption agreement is to ensure the seller is freed from their obligations, while the buyer agrees to take on these obligations. Legally, the seller could still be held liable if they don't have a proper assumption agreement in place that absolves them of those responsibilities.
An assumable mortgage is a type of home financing arrangement where an outstanding mortgage and its terms are transferred from the current owner to the buyer. By assuming the previous owner's remaining debt, the buyer can avoid obtaining their own mortgage, which may come with higher interest rates.
A debt assumption involves two simultaneous transactions; the first transaction cancels the original debtor's obligation, and the second transaction creates a new debt contract between the creditor and the new debtor, or assumer.
If approved by Fannie Mae, the servicer must document each approved assumption with an assumption agreement, or by an assumption and release agreement if a release of liability was agreed to, and record the agreement if required by state law.
To assume a mortgage, the lender has to give you the green light. That means meeting the same requirements that you'd need to meet for a typical mortgage, such as having a good enough credit score and a low debt-to-income (DTI) ratio.
