Sinned wrote:Daryl, a property incumbent is any charge on a property and the most common would be a mortgage but it could be any loan where the property is used a collateral. A court order may enforce a charge where there is a significant debt but the owner is unable for various reasons to sell the property. The charge must be settled before the property is sold or at the time of the sale.
