Trust Deeds Between Lenders And Borrowers

By Eugenia Dickerson


Trust deeds can be referred to as contracts that a lender and a borrower enter into. This document is used as a method of security for the borrower's debt by allowing a transfer of a particular interest in the assets of the borrower, to an outside party. This outside party is referred to as the trustee. The trustee, by determination of the deed, has the authority to dispose of the property if the borrower fails to pay his or her debt.

There are normally three parties who are involved in the setup of a deed of trust. The first party is the borrower who has to provide the trustee with lawful title to his or her property. The lender is the second party to the transaction and this is the entity who has offered the loan. The final party in the transaction is the trustee who safeguards the property for the benefit of the lender.

There are three different trust property deed types. Warranty deeds transfer ownership of the property without any security. Grant deeds transfer ownership with a commitment that the said property has not already been transferred. Quitclaim deeds transfer the rights of the transferring party as regards the property.

Trust deeds are often compared to mortgage loans. The one essential difference between the two is that with a mortgage ownership is transferred to the lender. With a deed of trust, ownership is not transferred. Mortgages are also normally applied to real estate loans.

There are certain jurisdictions that make allowance for the raising of a second or sometimes a third deed of trust. The subsequent deeds will not hold the same priority level as the initial deed of trust. When full settlement of the loan has been made, it is the right of the lender to request that the trustee return the property. This is done by means of reconveyance. This action involves a process which allows the lender to issue a document which stipulates that he or she relinquishes all claims to the said property. Once the debt has been settled in full, it is necessary for a mortgage satisfaction to be recorded with the deeds register in the county records.

In the event that the borrower has defaulted on the loan, the lender has the right to file a notice to that effect. Once the notice has been issued to the borrower, the trustee has the opportunity to commence foreclosure on the property. In this instance, the trustee will place the property for sale by auction and sell it to the highest bidder.

The borrower is able to purchase back the property once the sale has taken place. There is a specified period when this action can take place. The property has to be bought back by the borrower for the price it fetched at the auction, as well as interest and any other transaction fees. This opportunity is referred to as a right of redemption.

Lenders who use mortgages or trust deeds have the opportunity to allocate the loan to other lenders. When this option is taken, the assigned lender will inherit all the rights that pertained to the original lender. This action has to be done in writing for it to be valid and complete. It is a requirement that the assignment of the deed be recorded in the records of the county where the property is being held or is located.
