FAQ
Both a deed of trust and a promissory note might outline similar information, but they are separate documents that are signed for the benefit of different parties. In a deed of trust, there are three parties involved: the lender, the borrower, and the third-party trustee.
An assignment in a deed of trust is a legal transfer of the lender's interest in the security instrument (the deed of trust) to a new party (the assignee). The assignor (current lender) transfers all rights, title, and interest in the deed of trust to the assignee, who becomes the new lender of record.
A deed of trust will include the same type of information stated in a mortgage document, such as: The identities of the borrower, lender, and trustee. A full description of the property to be placed in trust. Any restrictions or requirements on the use of the property while it is in trust.
Where to Get a Deed of Trust? To get a Deed of Trust, you must file the proper paperwork with the proper court as generally outlined above. These documents must be filed with the county clerk or recorder, and the lender typically sends them to the recording office after the property closing.
Unlike a deed of trust or mortgage, the promissory note is typically not recorded in the county land records (except in a few states like Florida). Instead, the lender holds on to this document until the amount borrowed is repaid.
Additionally, although those selling them might not know or admit it, promissory notes are usually securities and must be registered with the SEC or the state in which they're sold—or they must have a specific exemption from registration under the law.
In the United States, the Internal Revenue Service governs the taxation aspects of promissory notes. Specifically, the interest income received from a promissory note is taxable and should be reported, whereas the principal amount usually does not have tax implications unless the note is forgiven or canceled.
DO THE NOTES NEED TO BE REGISTERED? Most promissory notes must be registered as securities with the SEC and the states in which they're being sold. But remember that some promissory notes, such as those that have nine-month or shorter terms, may be “exempt.” That means that they don't have to be registered.
