Re: Secured Mortgage

In order to 'secure' a loan or other debt by having an enforceable right to take the property and sell it to pay that debt, you have to have a mortgage which the Courts will enforce if needed.

There are a couple of pieces of information that an attorney would need to have from you to make sure that this is done correctly and will be enforceable. I strongly suggest that you hire an attorney to take care of this for you. If you have already lent the money or made the agreement that you want to make sure is 'secured', then you still need to get some expert advice as to what you need to do next.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free. I would be happy to help you out.
