A shopkeeper purchased the building that houses her shop, incurring an obligation to the owner of the building equal to the fair market value of the building plus interest. The obligation is evidenced by a promissory note and secured by a mortgage on the building. Several years later, the shopkeeper sold her business and the building to a third party, who assumed liability for the obligation. At the request of the third party and without the knowledge of the shopkeeper, the original owner of the building agreed to release the mortgage. Subsequently, the third party defaulted on the obligation. The current fair market value of the building exceeds the amount of the unpaid obligation. The original owner of the building sued the shopkeeper for the amount of the unpaid obligation. Can the original owner recover this amount from the shopkeeper

Respuesta :

No, the original owner recover this amount from the shopkeeper because "the release of the mortgage discharged the shopkeeper's personal liability."

What are mortgage?

When you and a lender enter into a mortgage, the lender is granted the power to seize your property if you are unable to pay back the loan amount plus interest. Mortgage loans are used to either purchase a home or borrow against an existing home's worth.-

The examples of mortgage loans are-

  • A mortgage would be something you would borrow money against at the bank.
  • Mortgage is a loan taken to purchase property and guaranteed by the same property.
  • An example of a mortgage is the loan you took out when you bought your house.

As for the given condition, the owner will not get the amount from the shopkeeper because the building owner's release of the relevant mortgage releases the shopkeeper/mortgagor from personal accountability for the loan made by the original owner of the building (i.e., mortgagee).
