The word "sale" has different meanings for different purposes. If you are concerned about the income tax impact of the transfer, it is deemed to be a sale.

I don't believe so since the bank is still entitled to the interest on the loan. The property lien is security for the loan and if it is used to repay the bank for the principal there is still a debt and it would be a partial repayment.
