Yes. As long as the lender will accept it. If the borrower defaults and the lender should later need to foreclose on the mortgage, it will acquire only the tenant's proportionate interest in the property and not the interest of the other co-owner(s) who didn't execute the mortgage.

Can one joint tenant with right of survivorship get a mortgage on the property?

Yes. If the lender agrees. Only a half interest could be included in the mortgage.However, an experienced lender would want all the owners to sign the mortgage in case there is a default. If only one owner signed the mortgage, the lender could only foreclose on that person's half interest. It would become a tenant in common with the co-owner. That half interest would be difficult to sell. In some states, if the mortgagor died their interest in the property would disappear and the surviving joint tenant would own the property free of the bank's mortgage.

What happens if one tenant in common records a note or mortgage?

If the tenant in common who mortgaged her half interest defaults on the loan then the lender can only foreclose on that half interest. The lender would have to share the property with you. It could petition to partition the property, try to force a sale and share the proceeds with you. Their legal costs would come out of their half not yours. A foreclosure and partition would be very expensive for the lender. The important point here is that your half is free and clear of the mortgage unless you signed it.

Does the life tenant loose interest if the remainder man defaults on the mortgage on the property?

As long as there is notice of the life estate in the public land records the bank would need the life tenant's signature on the mortgage and note in order to wipe out the life estate. If the life tenant didn't sign the original mortgage and note then the bank has a problem. If it forecloses, it would acquire possession of the property SUBJECT TO the life estate.

How can landlord hold mortgage to tenant?

A landlord only collects rent from a tenant, not mortgage payments. If the landlord then holds a mortgage for the tenant, then they are no longer a landlord, rather, a mortgage holder, like a financial institution. There are many cases where the tenant has an option to buy the home, and many terms are discussed and agreed thereto. Landlords can turn into mortgage holders. Landlords can evict, but mortgage holders can foreclose-- two different types of court proceedings.


Can an owner with a deed sells his half without knowledge of the other co owner to a family member while the co owner is still alive?

In some states a married tenant by survivorship or tenant by the entirety cannot sell their interest.
