§24.6. Deed from Mortgagor to Mortgagee.

Deeds from mortgagors to mortgagees are subject to close scrutiny by the court if it should be asserted they were given as additional security; nevertheless, such deeds do not warrant the rejection of the title unless there is some affirmative showing in the title that they were given merely as additional security.
