Mary purchases a property with the help of a
fixed-rate loan. Why is Mary considered the
mortgagor and the lender the mortgagee?
Mary is not considered the mortgagor.
Since she received a loan from a lender, she
is considered the mortgagee.
• O A mortgage is a legal document that
gives the lender the right to foreclose on the
property if Mary defaults on the loan. Mary
gives this security to the lender, and in
return, the lender gives Mary the loan. Since
Mary is giving the mortgage to the lender
she is considered the mortgagor.
Since Mary recently obtained the loan, she
is still considered the mortgagor. Once the
loan is paid off, she will be considered the
mortgagee.
O Since Mary obtained a fixed-rate loan, she is
considered the mortgagor. If she obtained any
other type of loan, she would be considered the
mortgagee.
