Accommodation Endorsement

  

I'll cosign the mortgage for my ne'er-do-well son. The kindly, loving parent is making an accommodation endorsement to enhance the trust or belief from the lender that the son will, in fact, spend his toll-collecting salary on the mortgage for his new condo, rather than go back to the meth lab which he had previously found so much more fun.
