A mortgage wrap transaction is simply the seller financing of a property that does not pay off the current mortgage lien on the property. The property is conveyed and the existing mortgage lien stays in place with a second, junior lien held by the seller.

Effective January 1, 2022, Texas law​ provides that a lien securing a wrap mortgage loan is void unless the wrap loan and the conveyance of residential real estate securing the loan is closed by an attorney or a title company.

Analysis

Existing law already authorizes a Notary to take depositions. House Bill 3474 clarifies that a Texas Notary may conduct depositions with the same authority as the county clerk under the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which designates specific individuals empowered to conduct depositions depending on the location of the witness. This statute provides that a Texas Notary may take depositions of a witness located in the state of Texas and that any Notary, regardless of jurisdiction, may conduct a deposition when the witness is located outside the state of Texas, whether the witness is located inside or outside the United States.

As set forth under the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) – A “piggyback” second mortgage is a home equity loan or home equity line of credit (HELOC) that is made at the same time as your main mortgage. Its purpose is to allow borrowers with low down payment savings to borrow additional money in order to qualify for a main mortgage without paying for private mortgage insurance.

Generally speaking, in a piggyback loan, instead of financing a home purchase with a single mortgage, you’re doing it with two, which you take out at the same time: one big loan and a second, smaller one (the piggy on the back, so to speak). The second loan essentially provides funds towards your down payment.
