The mortgagee holds the right to foreclose on the property if the borrower fails to make payments.

In both US and Brazilian legal systems, the mortgagee is a critical party in real estate transactions. In the USA, mortgagees (typically banks) have significant legal protections and foreclosure rights. In Brazil, the concept is regulated under the Civil Code, and the relationship between mortgagor and mortgagee is similarly important in property law. This term is primarily used in legal, financial, and real estate professional contexts.
