Legal Mortgages. A legal mortgage is exactly what it sounds like -- it's a security instrument that meets all of your state's laws. Legal mortgages have all of their blanks filled in with correct information and are signed in the right places.
A mortgage is a loan secured by property: the house which you've purchased and now own. As long as you keep up the monthly payments, the loan is current. A mortgage is a fixed-term loan; it can run 10, 15, 20 or (most commonly) 30 years. The end of that term is known as the maturity date. The maturity date represents the due date of the final installment of principal on a loan. You repay a mortgage loan in regular monthly installments; thus the payment of principal is spread over the entire term of the loan.
