In Louisiana, the mortgage is the instrument used to secure real property loans; common law deeds of trust are not permitted.
Start the process by creating a trust document. This document includes the trust's terms, the names of beneficiaries, and how you want assets in the trust distributed when you die. After the trust is drawn up, transfer the title from your name to the trust's. Sign the deed in the presence of a notary public.
The three most common New York deeds are listed below: Warranty Deed. Bargain and Sale Deed. Quitclaim Deed.
Notes: Not all states recognize a Trust Deed. Use a Mortgage Deed if you live in: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont, or Wisconsin.
New York's new transfer on death deed scheme provides yet another valuable tool which, if used properly, can simplify the transfer of real estate to beneficiaries while avoiding the costs and time delays of probate.
In New York, although deeds of trust are permitted by law, a mortgage is the most common instrument used to create a lien on real property.
The word mortgage comes from the Old French word “morgage”, which directly translates to “dead pledge”. (The prefix of the word, “mort”, means dead, while the suffix, “gage”, means pledge.)
