A Louisiana Mortgage Lien And Privilege Certificate Request is a document used by lenders and property owners in the state of Louisiana to secure a mortgage lien or a privilege on a property. The document requests the certification of the mortgage lien or privilege from the Louisiana Secretary of State's office. This document is necessary for the lender to ensure that their loan is secure, and they are able to collect the funds if the borrower defaults on the loan. There are two types of Louisiana Mortgage Lien And Privilege Certificate Requests: Mortgage Lien Certificates and Privilege Certificates. Mortgage Lien Certificates guarantee that a lender's mortgage lien is superior to all other liens, while Privilege Certificates provide assurance that the lender is entitled to certain privileges granted by the state.
