An Alabama Assignment of Mortgage is used to transfer a lender’s interest in a recorded mortgage from one party to another, typically when a loan is sold, transferred between entities, or handled through an estate. In Alabama, this document must be recorded in the county probate records to reflect the change in ownership of the mortgage, and borrowers are entitled to notice of the assignment. If the assignment is not properly documented and recorded, the public record may still show the original lender, creating confusion over who holds the enforceable lien.
What the Alabama Assignment of Mortgage does
This document transfers the mortgagee’s rights under a recorded mortgage, including the right to receive payments and enforce the lien against the property. In Alabama, mortgages are frequently assigned as part of loan sales, servicing transfers, or estate administration. The assignment updates the public record to show the current holder of the mortgage interest, while the underlying debt obligation remains in place.
Alabama statutory framework and recording status
In Alabama, instruments affecting real property—including assignments of mortgage—may be recorded in the office of the Judge of Probate in the county where the property is located (Ala. Code § 35-4-62). Recording provides constructive notice of the assignment (Ala. Code § 35-4-63), and Alabama’s race-notice statute protects subsequent purchasers and lenders without notice (Ala. Code § 35-4-90). Recording the assignment ensures the public record reflects the current mortgage holder.
Alabama law also allows executors and administrators to assign mortgages and related instruments as part of estate administration, provided statutory conditions are met (Ala. Code § 43-2-420). This is one of the common contexts in which assignments occur outside of routine loan sales.
Execution requirements for an Alabama assignment of mortgage
The Alabama Assignment of Mortgage must be signed by the current mortgagee or its authorized successor or assign. To be recordable, the execution must comply with Alabama law. A conveyance affecting land must be attested by at least one witness if the signer writes his or her name, unless the document is acknowledged before a notary public (Ala. Code § 35-4-20). A proper acknowledgment satisfies the statutory requirement for recording (Ala. Code § 35-4-23).
The assignment should clearly identify the original mortgage by recording information, including book and page or instrument number, and match the names of the parties exactly as they appear in the recorded mortgage.
Alabama-specific traps that cause recording or title problems
- Marital-status recital: Alabama requires that the marital status of the conveying party be stated before recording (Ala. Code § 35-4-73). Missing this recital can delay acceptance.
- Preparer identification: The document must include the name and address of the preparer (Ala. Code § 35-4-110), a frequent issue with non-state-specific forms.
- Reference to the original mortgage: The assignment must include accurate recording information for the original mortgage. Without it, proper indexing may not occur.
- Exact name matching: Any discrepancy between the names in the original mortgage and the assignment can create confusion in Alabama’s grantor-grantee index and affect title searches.
- Borrower notification: Borrowers must be notified of the assignment of their mortgage. Failure to provide notice can lead to disputes regarding payment obligations and servicing.
- County-specific recording: The assignment must be recorded in the county where the property is located. Recording elsewhere does not provide effective notice.
- Successor and estate transfers: When assignments occur through estates or corporate succession, documentation must clearly establish the authority of the assigning party under Alabama law (Ala. Code § 43-2-420).
Recording process in Alabama
The Alabama Assignment of Mortgage is recorded with the Judge of Probate in the county where the property is located. Recording promptly ensures the public record reflects the current holder of the mortgage and helps avoid confusion during title searches or future transactions. Once recorded, the assignment becomes part of the property’s recorded history.
Recording fees apply, and Alabama probate offices determine any applicable charges under Title 40, Chapter 22. Proper formatting, acknowledgment, and required recitals should be in place before submission to avoid delays.
Vesting considerations in Alabama
An assignment of mortgage does not transfer ownership of the property but transfers the secured interest in the mortgage. Alabama requires clear identification of parties in recorded instruments, and survivorship is not presumed in co-ownership unless expressly stated (Ala. Code § 35-4-7). Ensuring that the assignment reflects the correct parties and authority helps maintain a clear chain of title and lien ownership.

I thought the website was good. But once I paid the money and downloaded the papers I needed for Grays Harbor. I had to end up calling a escrow company that we had worked with only to find out that they work with a slightly different version. The escrow company was kind enough to email me the version Grays Harbor recommends and uses. There is a chance I could use theses in the future.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I liked getting the forms but I was charged twice for some reason. I'm not sure what happened with that. Can you reimburse me? Thank you. Lanette
Thank you for your feedback Lanette. In review, it looks like your first payment was declined, second one was approved and processed. What you are seeing is one payment and a hold placed by your financial institution for the declined attempt. We are not sure why they do this but the hold usually falls off after a few day depending on their policy. If you have further questions about this you can contact your financial institution and they will explain. Have a great day.
