Questions answered? Let's get started!

An Alabama Mortgage is the primary security instrument used to finance real property in Alabama, tying a borrower’s repayment obligation to the property itself and creating a recorded lien in favor of the lender. What makes the Alabama mortgage different is how it is treated under state law: it operates as a security instrument tied to a separate promissory note, is recorded in the county probate system, and commonly includes a power of sale clause that allows non-judicial foreclosure. If the mortgage is not properly executed and recorded under Alabama requirements, the lender’s lien position—and the borrower’s title—can be compromised. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

What the Alabama Mortgage does

An Alabama Mortgage secures repayment of a loan by placing a lien against the property. The borrower signs both the mortgage (the security instrument) and a promissory note, which contains the actual repayment terms. The borrower typically takes possession and uses the property, while the mortgage creates the lender’s enforceable interest until the debt is paid. Once satisfied, the mortgage is released and removed from the public record. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Alabama statutory framework and mortgage structure

Alabama mortgage law is governed primarily under Title 35, Chapter 10 of the Code of Alabama. The mortgage itself is not a standalone loan document—it works together with the promissory note, which defines the debt and repayment terms. Alabama does not prescribe a single statutory form for mortgages, but the instrument must contain sufficient information to identify the parties, the obligation, and the property being used as collateral. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Most Alabama mortgages include a power of sale provision, which allows the lender to foreclose without filing a court action if the borrower defaults (Ala. Code § 35-10-1). This non-judicial foreclosure framework is a key distinction in Alabama and affects how lenders enforce their rights.

Execution requirements for an Alabama mortgage

To be recordable, an Alabama Mortgage must be signed by each borrower and executed in compliance with state law. Alabama requires that conveyances affecting land be attested by at least one witness if the signer writes his or her name, unless the document is properly acknowledged before a notary public (Ala. Code § 35-4-20). A proper acknowledgment satisfies the statutory requirement for recording (Ala. Code § 35-4-23).

For homestead property—generally a single-family owner-occupied dwelling—Alabama requires the voluntary signature and assent of the spouse, even if the spouse is not a borrower (Ala. Code § 6-10-3). This is a critical execution requirement that differs from many states and must be addressed before recording.

Alabama-specific traps that cause recording or title problems

  • Homestead spousal signature: Failure to obtain the spouse’s signature on a homestead mortgage can render the lien defective or unenforceable (Ala. Code § 6-10-3).
  • Marital-status recital: Alabama requires the marital status of the conveying party to be stated before recording (Ala. Code § 35-4-73).
  • Preparer identification: The mortgage must include the name and address of the preparer (Ala. Code § 35-4-110).
  • Legal description accuracy: The property description must be complete and consistent with recorded deeds. If referencing a subdivision, proper plat information must be included (Ala. Code § 35-4-74).
  • Power of sale implications: Alabama mortgages commonly include a power of sale clause, allowing non-judicial foreclosure. The terms of this clause directly affect enforcement rights (Ala. Code § 35-10-1).
  • Exact name matching: Borrower names must match existing title records. Errors can cause indexing problems or delays in future transactions.
  • Riders and attachments: If the mortgage includes riders or additional terms, they must be clearly identified and attached to avoid incomplete recording.

Recording process in Alabama

The Alabama Mortgage is recorded with the Judge of Probate in the county where the property is located. Recording establishes the lender’s lien in the public record and determines priority against other claims under Alabama’s race-notice system (Ala. Code § 35-4-90). Once recorded, the mortgage becomes part of the property’s title history and will be reviewed in any future sale or refinance.

Recording fees apply, and Alabama imposes recordation taxes on mortgages under Title 40, Chapter 22. The probate office calculates the applicable tax based on the amount secured and collects it at the time of recording.

Vesting considerations in Alabama

The mortgage must reflect the current ownership structure of the property. Alabama does not presume survivorship in co-ownership unless expressly stated in the creating instrument (Ala. Code § 35-4-7). Ensuring that all owners of record properly execute the mortgage helps maintain a clear chain of title and enforceable lien.

I can't recommend working with Deeds.com enough. I had been given incorrect information from another document service. The helpful staff member at Deeds.com that assisted in the submission of the recording was exceptionally helpful in making sure what I was submitting included the necessary elements required by the county. I am very thankful I chose Deeds.com for my eRecording service. Thank you!!

Great service ! Hawaii is not a "forms state" so unfortunately the public has no way to get templates on our local gov site but deeds.com to the rescue. The template was affordable and easy to use and successfully recorded. Great to use when you don't need to involve title or attorneys for simple deed changes, thank you

1) I was very pleased when the staff mentioned your service since the three referenced on the Recorder's website all wanted HUGE Account set-up and maintenance fees AND BIG fees per recording, and yours has no set-up fee AND nominal per-recording fee; 2) My (few) recordings will be NON-LAND Related, summary or entire record(s) of Administrative (Procedures Act) records, Other than the Border width and Cover Sheet, do you anticipate any other special requirements for such recording(s)? NOTE: I just sent one by Snail Mail, and they just informed me that due to the GERMIPHOBIA 'Pandemic' the ONLY open and record Snail Mail ONCE A MONTH On the first of each chmonth!

The forms worked well for entering information. I have finished without much trouble. Since the forms are Adobe PDF files you need the free app to use them but you can't edit unless you have the paid Adobe program. And, it was a reasonable price.

The process for receiving the quitclaim document worked well. I couldn't use the document. If I had been able to view the document before I had to pay for it, I would have known, but that isn't how your process works. However, that's the only snag I found. Otherwise the process for paying and downloading the document worked well. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback Beverly. We certainly do not want you to pay for something you are unable to use. To that end we have canceled your order and refunded your payment. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs. Have a wonderful day.
