Why does the mortgage item have an extra warning?
Section titled “Why does the mortgage item have an extra warning?”If the case’s Sale terms say mortgage carried over, the item “Check encumbrances / carried-over mortgage” shows an extra warning, because the buyer takes on the existing mortgage. Confirm the outstanding debt with the creditor or the Legal Execution office before bidding.
