How To Enter Into Trust Deeds

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.

Deeds of trust come in three different trust property types. The transfer of ownership without the need for security is called a Warranty deed. The ownership transfer where a commitment has been made that the property has not been transferred already is called a Grant deed. A Quitclaim deed is used in the event that the party transferring the property transfers all his or her rights.

Mortgage loans and trust deeds are often compared with each other. The main variance between it is that with mortgages the actual ownership of the property is transferred to the lender. Title is not normally transferred when a deed of trust is used. Mortgage loans are generally related to real estate transactions.

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 case where the borrower has not met the terms of the loan, the lender gains a right to file such notice. Upon receipt of the notice by the borrower, the trustee gains the right to start the process of foreclosure of the asset. This means that the trustee is allowed to place the asset for sale by means of an auction and to sell it to the entity with the highest bid.

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.
