Call Consumer's with any questions.

Trust Deed

 

A Deed of Trust is a security instrument used by the borrower

(also called the trustor) to convey "bare legal" title to the

property, to a neutral party (called Trustee), for the purposes of

securing an obligation (usually of a promissory note) payable to

the lender (called the beneficiary). The trustee is authorized

under "power of sale" to "nonjudicially" foreclose in the event of

a default on the obligation by the trustor, or his/her successors in

interest. The proceeds of the trustee's sale (non-judicial

foreclosure) of the secured real property will apply as payment

toward the defaulted obligation.

When the debt or obligation secured by the deed of trust has been

satisfied, the beneficiary must execute a request for full

reconveyance and any other documentation necessary to cause

the deed of trust to be reconveyed. The trustee will then execute

and record a "Full Reconveyance" in the county wherein the deed

of trust was recorded.
