assumption of mortgage

assumption of mortgage
An agreement by the grantee of mortgaged premises to pay the debt secured by the mortgage. 37 Am J1st Mtg § 997. There is a broad and obvious distinction in the effect there of upon the rights of the parties, between the taking of mortgaged property subject to a mortgage subsisting thereon at the time of such taking, and the assumption or agreement by the grantee to pay the debt secured by such mortgage, in that, where the purchaser or grantee of the mortgaged property takes it subject to the mortgage only, there being no express or implied agreement to assume the mortgage debt, he is bound only to the extent of the property, but if the debt be assumed by the grantee, he becomes the principal debtor, while the mortgagor becomes the Surety. Brichetto v Raney, 76 Cal App 232, 245 P 235; 37 Am J1st Mtg § 982.
