Fiduciary Alienation: What is it?
When financing their own property, it is common for people to celebrate such an achievement with the certainty that they already own their own roof. However, it is essential to understand some processes and what they mean. Fiduciary alienation is an example of this.
It concerns the transfer of ownership of a good to the creditor, while the debtor pays the debt, that is, the property is alienated considering the creditor bank as the official owner and the debtor remains enjoying possession of the property until paying off the debt.
In cases of delay that exceed the maximum allowed in the contract, usually of three installments, the financial institution is authorized to notify the delay and request the settlement of the installments. If there is no payment, the creditor can use its rights to the property, making it available at auction to cover the outstanding debt, Bojandsons.com.
In addition, the fiduciary alienation is provided for in Federal Law 9,514 and, therefore, does not require the creditor to file a lawsuit to take the asset placed as collateral. This represents a lower risk, reducing insecurity in relation to the debtor’s default.
Therefore, when considering operations with property as collateral in Brazil, fiduciary alienation is much more common than mortgage. According to data from the Central Bank, more than 30,000 properties that were acquired in 2020 opted for fiduciary alienation. On the other hand, only 2,032 operations were carried out with mortgages.
