§ 6:833 — Conveyance of property securing loan

A. Whenever property subject to a mortgage in favor of an association is sold or transferred by contract without the written consent of the association, either with or without the assumption of the association's loan, the loan and obligation held by the association shall at the option of the association immediately mature and become subject to enforcement according to law and to the terms of the loan contract. In all such cases where the loan was assumed by the purchaser even without the consent of the association, the purchaser shall remain liable in solido with the original borrower on the loan.
B. In the event the ownership of the real estate security or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than the party originally executing the security instrument, and if there is not an agreement by the association in writing to the contrary, an association, without notice to such party, may deal with such successor in interest with reference to said mortgage, and the debt hereby secured in the same manner as with such party, and may forbear to sue and may extend time for payment of or otherwise modify the terms of the debt secured thereby, without discharging or any way affecting the original liability of such party or parties thereunder or upon the debt thereby secured.
