Subject to Mortgage

An agreement in which the owner of real estate transfers to another party the right to use the property, in exchange for which the other party makes mortgage payments to the lender. Neither the property nor the legal obligation to make the payments transfers. This is a high risk endeavor for the owner: if the other party stops paying, the lender must collect from the current owner. However, the owner maintains title to the property.
