Mortgage
A written conveyance of title to real estate property, but not its possession, to secure the payment of a debt or the performance of some obligation. Distinguished from a lien in that the creditor has actual title to the property and from a pledge in that the debtor retains possession. In Switzerland, such rights may take the form of a mortgage assignment or mortgage note. See also fixed-rate mortgage, portfolio mortgage.
