A quick definition of dismortgage:

Dismortgage is a term used to describe the act of paying off a defaulted mortgage debt by a borrower who does not want to lose their property. It is also known as redemption. This means that the borrower can reclaim their property by paying a specific price. It is important to note that there is a specified period within which the borrower can recover their property after a foreclosure or tax sale by paying the outstanding debt or charges. This is known as statutory redemption. Tax redemption is another form of dismortgage where a taxpayer can recover their property taken for nonpayment of taxes by paying the delinquent taxes, interest, costs, and penalties.
