your query is very vague, I would like to know are you having any proof to lend money to that person as property without consideration may not be mortgaged . in mortgage you may have possession till loan is repaid. In registered mortgage the mortgage deed shall be registered with sub registrar. In equitable mortgage the owner shall deposit title deeds with intention to secure loan. .5% of loan amount will be stamp duty. In english mortgage /mortgage cum conditional sale deed is prepared with condition that loan would be repaid by a specific date and if the borrower fails, the transaction shall take place as sale and the creditor shall have owners rights. Stamp duty as per state stamp duty act will be applicable.
