In some states it is going to be hard to foreclose without the original copy of the note because the court will need this to show the chain of title and who has what rights revolving around the debt and the real estate.

However, in other states such as Massachusetts, the recorded mortgage allows foreclosure in the case of a default as long as the mortgage and any assignments were recorded and the foreclosing bank is the owner of record.

This is an extremely complicated issue and the laws vary from state to state. Also, there are urban legends that have sprung up concerning mortgage notes. You need to consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can answer your question under your particular state laws.

Is a note valid if not signed by mortgage lender?

Yes. The mortgage secures the debt. The note is simply a promise that you repay the money. If you sign the note, then you are liable for the debt. The note is simply your promise to pay back the money you borrowed. If you signed the mortgage, and you default on the promises and covenants of the note and mortgage, then the mortgagee (bank) has the right to foreclose on you. The default of mortgage payments are a breach of contract which allows the lender to foreclose on your home.


If a husband dies will a wife be responsible for the mortgage debt even if she is not on the note?

His estate will be responsible for the mortgage. Assuming the wife is not on the deed, if the mortgage isn't paid the bank will foreclose and take possession of the property covered by the mortgage. If the wife is on the deed and she consented to the mortgage the bank can foreclose. If she is on the deed and did not consent to the mortgage then the bank had a defective title and may not be able to foreclose.
