Virginia Chattel Mortgage on Mobile Home
What is this form?
A chattel mortgage on a mobile home is a legal document that establishes a loan arrangement where the mobile home itself serves as collateral for the loan. This type of mortgage differs from a traditional mortgage, as it secures a movable personal property rather than real estate. The lender holds a lien on the mobile home until the loan is fully repaid, allowing the borrower to retain possession and use of the home during the loan term.
