Maine Assumption Agreement of Mortgage and Release of Original Mortgagors
What this document covers
The Assumption Agreement of Mortgage and Release of Original Mortgagors is a legal document that allows a new buyer (the Purchaser) to assume responsibility for an existing mortgage on a property. In this agreement, the purchaser agrees to take over the debt obligations from the original borrower(s), while the lender releases the original borrower(s) from any future liability. This form is particularly useful in real estate transactions where the buyer wants to take over an existing mortgage rather than obtaining new financing.
Key parts of this document
- Identification of Borrower(s) and Purchaser(s)
- Details of the mortgage debt being assumed, including the amount and interest rate
- Payment terms, including monthly payment amounts and due dates
- Clauses releasing the original Borrower(s) from future obligations
- Space for notarization and signatures of all parties involved
Situations where this form applies
This form is commonly used in situations where a property is sold, and the new purchaser wishes to take over the existing mortgage obligations instead of securing a new loan.

Additionally, it is useful when both the lender and the original mortgagors agree to release the original borrower(s) from the mortgage obligations.

An assignment of mortgage gives the loan seller's rights under the mortgage, including the right to foreclose if the borrower doesn't make payments, to the new owner of the loan.
An assignment is the document that is the legal record of this transfer from one mortgagee to another. In a typical transaction, when the mortgagee sells the debt to another bank, an assignment is recorded and the promissory note is endorsed (signed over) to the new bank.
Once the note is assigned, the person to whom it is assigned, the assignee, can collect payment under the note. Assignment of the mortgage agreement occurs when the mortgagee (the bank or lender) transfers its rights under the agreement to another party.
