Talk:Home Building & Loan Ass'n v. Blaisdell

Translation
From legalese into plain language please: "The extension had the effect of enlarging the mortgagor's estate contrary to the terms of the contract."

What is "estate" doing here? The relevant words in a mortgage are interest, principal, balance, and collateral. patsw (talk) 21:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
