What is MODT?
MODT commonly refers to a Memorandum of Deposit of Title Deeds or a memorandum/agreement connected with the deposit of property title deeds with a lender. It is generally associated with a secured loan where property documents are deposited with a bank or financial institution as security for the borrowing.
The exact form and legal effect depend on how the loan security is created, the lender's documentation and the applicable law. Where a memorandum or agreement relating to the deposit of title deeds is executed and registration is applicable, the document must be prepared and processed according to the rules in force.
An MODT-related document may contain details of the borrower, lender, loan or facility, property offered as security, title deeds deposited, and declarations relating to the security arrangement.
