Assignment Of Interest

An assignment of interest in a mortgage most commonly occurs when switching a mortgage from one lending institution to another.
Instead of the borrower incurring high legal costs to discharge one lender's mortgage and register documents from another, a legal 'assignment of mortgage' is registered with the Land Titles Office. The assignment document recognises that the debt has been legally transferred from one lender to another.
