FAQ
Yes, you can sell a home with a Deed of Trust. However, just like a mortgage, if you're selling the home for less than you owe on it, you'll need approval from the lender.
Property liens A lien will show up in a property title search. If you are trying to sell your home, you'll need to settle the dispute with the lienholder—in this case, the mortgage lender—to clear the title and proceed with the sale.
For example, if you own a home in Texas and want it in your trust, you'll prepare a deed transferring the property to the trust. The deed, not the trust, is recorded. This means your property transfer is public, but your trust terms are still private.
Interested persons may visit the county clerk's office where the lien is filed and examine relevant public records. Alternatively, the searches can be done online using the county clerk's online search tool (if available in the county of interest).
A deed of trust creates a lien on the purchased property when it is executed and delivered by the trustor/borrower to the beneficiary (usually the lender). Once executed and delivered, the deed of trust takes priority as a security against the property in relation to any other liens previously recorded.
Yes you can. Revocable living trusts don't, however, protect your assets from people with legal claims against you. That's because although the trust is a legal entity, for legal purposes you're treated as the owner of the trust assets.
In Texas, you record your deed with the County Clerk in the county where the property exists. If the property is in more than one county, record it in each. It is important to record your deed. In Texas, the property is legally transferred when the grantee accepts the signed deed.
