@Jon Holdman  alienation clauses are in the Mortgage not the note... generally... note is promise to pay and spells out the terms of repayment etc... of course some have dual purpose language but mine that I do all have the alinenation in the mort or deed of trust or deed to secure debt that is recorded giving the world notice that if title is alienated that that is an event of default and at my sole discretion I can call all sums due and payable.
