Virginia Assumption Agreement of Deed of Trust and Release of Original Mortgagors
About this form
The Assumption Agreement of Deed of Trust and Release of Original Mortgagors is a legal document that enables new purchasers of a property to assume an existing mortgage debt from the original mortgagors. This form facilitates the transfer of financial responsibility for the mortgage to the new owners while releasing the original mortgagors from any future liability. It is essential for parties involved in real estate transactions where an existing mortgage needs to be assumed, marking it distinct from other mortgage-related forms that do not involve assumption or liability release.
Key parts of this document
- Identification of the parties involved: lender, original mortgagors, and new purchasers.
- Details of the mortgage debt being assumed, including the total amount and interest rate.
- Agreement by the new purchasers to pay the mortgage and adhere to the terms of the original deed of trust.
- Release clause for original mortgagors, discharging them from future obligations related to the mortgage.
- Signatures and acknowledgments by all parties involved, including possible notarization.
When to use this form
This form should be used when a property with an existing mortgage is sold, and the buyer intends to assume the mortgage debt. It is appropriate in scenarios where the seller (original mortgagor) seeks to transfer responsibility for the mortgage to the buyer while ensuring they are released from any future financial obligations tied to that loan. This is common in real estate transactions to formalize the buyer's assumption of debt, especially when lenders allow the assumption of mortgages.

FAQ
Where to Find the Deed. In California, property deeds are in the County Recorders Office or Office of the Assessor-Recorder in the county in which the property is located. In some counties, if you request an older record, you may be redirected to yet another department that maintains archived records.
Party information: names and addresses of the trustor(s), trustee(s), beneficiary(ies), and guarantor(s) (if applicable) Property details: full address of the property and its legal description (which can be obtained from the County Recorder's Office)
Yes, there are key differences between the two. With a deed, you transfer the ownership of the property to one party. In contrast, a deed of trust does not mean the holder owns the property. In an arrangement involving a deed of trust, the borrower signs a contract with the lender with details regarding the loan.
The original deed is returned to the owner of the property from the office of the recorder after proper entry. The office of the Recorder of Deeds maintains a set of indexes about each deed recorded, for an easy search. Almost all states have a grantor-grantee index including a reference to all documents recorded.
Some owners are put off using solicitors duke to the deed of trust cost. Individuals can write out their own, and use someone else as a witness. However, this may have errors or not be a legally binding document. The investment of getting a deed of trust when buying a property is often worth it in the long term.
Typically, the lender will provide you with a copy of the deed of trust after the closing. The original warranty deeds are often mailed to the grantee after they are recorded. These are your original copies and should be kept in a safe place, such as a fireproof lockbox or a safe deposit box at a financial institution.
The person who owns the property usually signs a promissory note and a deed of trust. The deed of trust does not have to be recorded to be valid.
The property's title remains in the trust until the loan is paid off, or satisfied, then it is released from the trust. To complete the release, the lender prepares a deed of reconveyance. This document states that the conditions of the loan have been met and you have no further financial obligations to the lender.
A deed of release literally releases the parties to a deal from previous obligations, such as payments under the term of a mortgage because the loan has been paid off. The lender holds the title to real property until the mortgage's terms have been satisfied when a deed of release is commonly entered into.
