A NOTE EXECUTED BY ONE TENANT BY ENTIRETY AND SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY BOTH TENANTS BY THE ENTIRETY, DONE WITHOUT THE OTHER TENANT BY THE ENTIRETY’S CONSENT, DOES NOT ENCUMBER THE OTHER TENANT BY THE ENTIRETY’S INTEREST IN THE REAL PROPERTY (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the note executed by Gladys Pajuelo and secured by a mortgage on property owned by Gladys and Celso Pajuelo as tenants by the entirety, done without Celso’s consent, did not encumber Celso’s interest in the property. Therefore the bank in this foreclosure action did not have an equitable mortgage on Celso’s interest:

Supreme Court properly denied that branch of the plaintiff’s motion which was for leave to enter a default judgment against Celso F. Pajuelo, declaring that the plaintiff has an equitable mortgage on Celso F. Pajuelo’s interest in the property. Where spouses own property as tenants by the entirety, a conveyance by one spouse, to which the other has not consented, cannot bind the entire fee … . Here, the mortgage executed by Gladys F. Pajuelo did not encumber Celso F. Pajuelo’s interest in the property, and the plaintiff failed to submit evidence to demonstrate its entitlement to an equitable mortgage against Celso F. Pajuelo’s interest in the property … . Nationstar Mtge., LLC v Pajuelo, 2022 NY Slip Op 02006, Second Dept 3-23-22

Practice Point: Where real property is owned by tenants by the entirety, and one of the tenants by the entirety, without the consent of the other, executes a note secured by the real property, the other tenant by the entirety’s interest is not encumbered.
