Justice Manual § 9-116.530
Mortgages and Ownership Interests in Weed and Seed Transferred Real Property
Mortgages on real property transferred pursuant to the Weed and Seed initiative are not payable from the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund. Liens and mortgages are the responsibility of the recipient state or local sharing agency or non-profit entity that ultimately takes title to the property pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding. The payment of any such mortgages should be specifically addressed in the Memorandum.
Any secured debts or other qualified interests owed to creditors on such real property are not payable from the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund. Satisfaction of these interests is the responsibility of the recipient state or local agency or non-profit entity. As with mortgages, the payment of qualified third-party interests should be addressed in the Memorandum of Understanding. See Chapter 6 of the Asset Forfeiture Policy Manual.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
