Deed of Trust

A Deed of Trust gives your lender the power to sell your home without going to court.

Unlike a mortgage, a Deed of Trust involves three parties — borrower, trustee, and lender — and typically allows non-judicial foreclosure. Understanding the lender's rights and the foreclosure process defined in the deed is critical for any property owner.
