A PARTY WHO IS NOT A OBLIGOR ON THE NOTE, BUT IS A SIGNATORY ON THE MORTGAGE, IS SUBJECT TO FORECLOSURE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined that defendant (Lucy), who was not an obligor on the note, but who executed the mortgage, was subject to foreclosure:

A party who is not an obligor on a note but is a signatory on the corresponding mortgage, while not personally liable for the debt, is a mortgagor and has agreed to mortgage his or her interest in the property as security for the debt … . Here, although Lucy did not execute the Obligation to Pay and is not personally liable for the payment obligation, she executed the mortgage whereby she pledged her interest in the property as security for the obligations set forth in the co-ownership agreement and the Obligation to Pay, and thus, Lucy’s interest in the property is subject to foreclosure … . Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Ams. v Zzoha, 2025 NY Slip Op 03793, Second Dept 6-25-25

Practice Point: A party who is not on obligor on the note but is a signatory on the corresponding mortgage is subject to foreclosure.
