Deed Of Trust To Secure Assumption

Key Takeaways. A deed of trust is a type of security for a loan that names a third party called the trustee to hold the legal title until you pay it off. The trustee is typically an entity such as a title company with "power of sale" in the event that you default on your loan payment.

The Deed of Trust (or Mortgage or Security Instrument) is a legal document that grants the lender the rights to take the property if the borrower goes into default and does not pay under the terms of the Note. The lender holds title to the property until the borrower has repaid the debt in full.

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. The trustee, who is a third party such as an insurance company or escrow management agency that holds actual title to the property in trust for the beneficiary.

The one major difference in some areas between the two is that the security deed is held by the lender whereas a trust deed is usually held by a third party.The mortgage requires a judicial action for foreclosure to take place; while the security or trust deed is a nonjudicial action where no court is involved.

The trustee's primary function is to hold and maintain a property title for the borrower and the lender for the duration of the loan. Therefore, it is the trustee who retains factual ownership and control of the property in question, not the lender.

In a deed of trust, the borrower is called the trustor and the lender is the beneficiary. The trustee holds title to the property until the trustor has fully repaid the loan to the beneficiary, at which time the lender notifies the trustee, who then transfers full title of the property to the trustor.
