Definition of forbearance
Forbearance is when someone intentionally chooses not to do something. In the legal world, it means delaying the enforcement of a right, obligation, or debt.
Here are a few examples of forbearance:
- A creditor may choose to forbear legal action against a debtor if they agree to new payment conditions.
- A mortgage forbearance agreement is when a lender agrees not to foreclose on a mortgage, and the borrower agrees to a new payment plan that provides temporary payment relief.
These examples show how forbearance can be used to delay or change the enforcement of a legal obligation. In both cases, the creditor or lender is choosing to give the debtor or borrower more time to pay back their debt or mortgage.
The law is reason, free from passion.

Simple Definition
Forbearance is when someone chooses not to do something on purpose. In the law, it means delaying the enforcement of a right, obligation, or debt. For example, if someone owes money to a bank, the bank might agree to forbear taking legal action if the person agrees to pay the debt back in a different way. Another example is when someone can't make their mortgage payments, and the lender agrees to forbear foreclosing on the house for a little while and gives the person a new payment plan to help them catch up.
