Court properly entered judgmgent of foreclosure. Mortgage is valid, as note and mortgage documents were signed together, executed contemporaneously, and intended to complement each other. Defendant spouses jointly agreed to grant a lien on their home when they signed the mortgage. Because both spouses are obligated under the lien, real estate is not protected by their ownership of property as tenants by the entirety.(O'BRIEN and WRIGHT, concurring.)
