What is the difference between a Simple and Qualified Assumption?
The Simple Assumption process provides authorization to have an owner’s name removed or added to title or changed (i.e. Lisa Jones to Lisa Smith), but does not release the borrower from financial liability for the loan. The Qualified Assumption process allows the original borrower (seller) to be released of financial liability for the loan and the new borrower (buyer) becomes obligated for all outstanding payments and obligations under the terms of the loan documents.
