Description

A mortgagee is a lender in a mortgage agreement who provides funds to a borrower for purchasing real estate. The mortgagee holds a lien on the property until the loan is repaid in full. This term is commonly used in legal and financial contexts related to real estate transactions.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'acreedor hipotecario' is the formal term used in legal contexts. Colloquial alternatives may include 'prestamista' in some regions, but it is important to use the canonical term to maintain clarity. Avoid mixing this term with 'deudor hipotecario', which refers to the borrower.

Example Sentences

ES: El acreedor hipotecario es responsable de asegurar que se cumplan los términos del préstamo por parte del deudor.
