Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
Mortgage Ownership
If I own a real property and the mortgage is in my name and I quitclaim the property to a property management firm that I am part owner, will the mortgage automatically tranfer to the company? If not, am I personally responsible or the company if the loan defaults?

Re: Mortgage Ownership
The mortgage does not transfer unless the loan company will agree to do this, which they hardly ever do. You are responsible in the event of a default.
