CategoriesBusiness & Finance

DIL stands for Deed in lieu of foreclosure, a real estate & mortgage abbreviation.

Arrangement in which a borrower who cannot pay voluntarily transfers the property's title to the lender to satisfy the mortgage, avoiding a foreclosure sale.

Example: The lender accepted a DIL and waived the deficiency.

Usage notes

A deed in lieu usually hurts credit less than a foreclosure, but lenders generally accept it only if no other liens are on the property.
