What is an Alienation Clause?

An Alienation Clause is the language in a mortgage or trust deed that allows the lender to call the loan immediately due and payable in the event the owner sells the property or transfers title to the property. Almost every loan today contains an alienation clause, which means title cannot transfer and a buyer cannot purchase subject to an existing loan without triggering a due on sale clause.

What is an Acceleration Clause?

An Acceleration Clause is the language in a mortgage or trust deed allowing the lender to immediately call the loan due and payable upon certain events such as selling the property to another person without paying off the lender or making major alterations to the property without notifying the lender.
