Property Ownership

In Kentucky, a property owner who grants a mortgage can still sell the property because a mortgage creates:

AA transfer of title to the lender
BA lien against the property, not a transfer of ownership✓ Correct
CA joint ownership between owner and lender
DA life estate in favor of the lender

Explanation

Kentucky mortgages create a lien (security interest) against the property, not a transfer of title. The borrower retains title and may sell the property, but the mortgage lien must typically be paid off at closing.
