Study Notes
Mortgage under Philippine Civil Code
- A mortgage is a contract where a debtor (mortgagor) guarantees a debt with real or personal property, without transferring ownership to the creditor (mortgagee).
- The mortgage creates a lien on the property, securing the debt.
- Key provisions on mortgage are found in Articles 2085 to 2123 of the Civil Code.
Mortgagor's Rights and Obligations
- Right to Possession and Enjoyment: The mortgagor retains possession and can use the property, as long as the mortgage agreement is not breached.
- Right of Redemption: In extrajudicial mortgages, the mortgagor has the right to buy back the property after foreclosure by paying the debt and associated costs.
- Obligation to Pay Debt: The mortgagor's primary responsibility is to pay the debt secured by the mortgage.
- Obligation to Maintain Property Value: The mortgagor must not damage the property. If the property is impaired, the mortgagee can demand full payment.
Mortgagee's Rights and Obligations
- Right to Foreclose: If the mortgagor defaults on payment, the mortgagee can initiate foreclosure, either through judicial or extrajudicial processes.
- Right to Judicial Possession: In judicial foreclosure, the mortgagee has the right to possess the property after the sale if the mortgagor doesn't redeem it.
- Obligation to Release Property: Upon full payment of the debt, the mortgagee must return the mortgage documents and remove the encumbrance on the property.
- Obligation to Account for Foreclosure Proceeds: The mortgagee must apply foreclosure sale proceeds to the outstanding debt, return any surplus to the mortgagor, and the mortgagor remains responsible for any deficit.
