FAQ
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.
When a deed of trust is used as a security instrument, who holds the deed and the note? The trustee holds the deed, and the lender holds the note.
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.
I REPEAT: Both parties must sign the promissory note! This means both the lender and borrower must sign the original document (plus any amended versions). Without the signatures, the promissory note has no legal leg to stand on.
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.
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.
Once the parties address the conditions of the promissory note and sign it, it becomes a legally binding contract.
