The primary reason to use a supplemental legal mortgage is to protect the lender in the event that the borrower defaults on the loan. In the event that the borrower does default, the supplemental legal mortgage will allow the lender to collect the outstanding balance of the loan from the sale of the property. The supplemental legal mortgage may also allow the lender to collect additional damages from the borrower, such as late fees or interest.
