An Assignment of Mortgage is a crucial document used in Nigerian banking and real estate transactions when a mortgagee (typically a bank or financial institution) needs to transfer its rights and interests in a mortgage to another party. This commonly occurs during loan portfolio sales, bank restructuring, or refinancing arrangements. The document must comply with Nigerian federal and state laws, including the Land Use Act, relevant property laws, and banking regulations. It contains specific provisions addressing the transfer of rights, outstanding loan amounts, property details, and security interests. The assignment must be properly registered with relevant land registries and appropriately stamped to be enforceable under Nigerian law. This document is essential for maintaining the chain of title and ensuring the new mortgagee has proper legal standing to enforce the mortgage terms.
