A mortgagee is the lender who makes a building loan, while the mortgagor is the person who borrows the money to buy the property.
A first mortgagee is the person or entity that holds the first mortgage on a property. A first mortgage is the primary loan used to purchase a property, and it gives the lender the first claim to the property if the borrower defaults on the loan. This means that the lender holding the first mortgage has priority over any other claims on the property, and is repaid first from the proceeds of a sale.
A second mortgagee on a flood insurance policy refers to the lender holding the second mortgage on a property, meaning they are listed as a secondary beneficiary on the flood insurance policy, receiving payout benefits only after the first mortgage holder is fully compensated in the event of a flood claim.
NFIP Loss Payee
What defines a loss payee on an NFIP Flood Insurance Policy?
In the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a loss payee refers to the party designated to receive a claim payment in the event of a flood-related loss, typically a lender or mortgagee who holds a financial interest in the insured property, meaning they are entitled to a portion of the claim payout even if the primary insured is not fully compensated.
