FAQ
Typically, the lender will provide you with a copy of the deed of trust after the closing. The original warranty deeds are often mailed to the grantee after they are recorded.

A deed conveys ownership; a deed of trust secures a loan.
A warranty deed protects property owners from future claims that someone else actually owns a portion (or all) of their property, while trustee deeds protect lenders when borrowers default on their mortgage loans.
The mortgage company usually prepares this deed as part of the loan package and delivers it to the title company for you to sign at closing. The title company is commonly the trustee to the deed and holds legal title to the property until the loan gets fully repaid.
A deed of trust is a written instrument with three parties: The trustor, who is the borrower and homeowner. The beneficiary, who is the lender.
