Definition: Language in a mortgage or trust deed that allows the lender to call the loan immediately due and payable in the event the owner sells the property or transfers title to the property. Almost every loan today contains an alienation clause, which means title cannot transfer and a buyer cannot purchase subject to an existing loan without triggering a due on sale clause.
