What is Defeasance?
Defeasance is the process by which the real estate collateral securing a mortgage loan is replaced by government securities in order to release the real estate collateral, while keeping the payment stream for the mortgage loan intact.
The release of the original collateral allows the borrower to sell or refinance the real estate.
