Short answer

Multiple mortgages may exist if each transaction is lawful. Creditor priority and property value determine practical recovery risk. An existing first mortgage does not guarantee repayment to the next creditor.

Practical example

An apartment is worth GEL 100,000 and the first secured claim is almost as large. A later mortgage may provide little economic protection.

What to do

Check registration priority and actual balances. Assess sale costs and available proceeds. Before signing, check special loan restrictions and agreements needed to change priority.

Legal basis
