Assignment of Rents – What, Why, and How?

These days, almost all commercial loans include an Assignment of Rents as part of the Deed of Trust or Mortgage. But what is an Assignment of Rents, why is this such an important tool, and how are they enforced?

An Assignment of Rents (“AOR”) is used to grant the lender on a transaction a security interest in existing and future leases, rents, issues, or profits generated by the secured property, including cash proceeds, in the event a borrower defaults on their loan. The lender can use the AOR to step in and directly collect rental payments made by the tenant. For an AOR to be effective, the lender’s interest must be perfected, which has a few fairly simple requirements. The AOR must be in writing, executed by the borrower, and recorded with the county where the property is located. Including an AOR in the recorded Deed of Trust or Mortgage is the easiest and most common way to ensure the AOR meets these requirements should it ever need to be utilized.

When a borrower defaults, lenders can take advantage of AORs as an alternative to foreclosure to recoup their investment. With a shorter timeline and significantly lower costs, it is certainly an attractive option for lenders looking to get defaulted borrowers back on track with payments, without the potential of having to take back a property and attempting to either manage it or sell it in hopes of getting your money back out of the property. AORs can be a quick and easy way for the lender to get profits generated by the property with the goal of bringing the borrower out of default. But lenders should carefully monitor how much is owed versus how much has been collected. If the AOR generates enough funds so that the borrower is no longer in default, the lender must stop collecting rents generated by the property.

Enforcement of an AOR can also incentivize borrowers to work with the lender to formulate a plan, as many borrowers rely on rental income to cover expenses related to the property or their businesses. Borrowers are generally more willing to come to the table and negotiate a mutual, amicable resolution with the lender in order to protect their own investment. A word of warning to lenders though: since rental income is frequently used to pay expenses on the property, such as the property manager, maintenance, taxes, and other expenses, the lender needs to ensure they do not unintentionally hurt the value of the property by letting these important expenses fall behind. This may hurt the lender’s investment as well, as the property value could suffer, liens could be placed on the property, or the property may fall into disrepair if not properly maintained. It is also important for lenders to be aware of the statutes surrounding the payment of these expenses when an AOR is being used, as some state’s statutes require the lender to pay certain property expenses out of the collected rents if requested by the borrower.

In addition to being shorter and cheaper than foreclosure, AORs can be much easier to enforce. In California, the enforcement of an AOR is governed by California Civil Code §2938. This statute specifies enforcement methods lenders can use and restrictions on use of these funds by the lender, among other things. Under CA Civil Code §2938(c), there are 4 ways to enforce an AOR:

The appointment of a receiver;
Obtaining possession of the rents, issues, profits;
Delivery to tenant of a written demand for turnover of rents, issues, and profits in the correct form; or
Delivery to assignor of a written demand for the rents, issues, or profits.

One or more of these methods can be used to enforce an AOR. First, a receiver can be appointed by the court, and granted specific powers related to the AOR such as managing the property and collecting rents. They can have additional powers though; it just depends on what the court orders. This is not the simplest or easiest option as it requires court involvement, but this is used to enforce an AOR, especially when borrowers or tenants are uncooperative. Next is obtaining possession of the rents, issues, profits, which is exactly as it seems; lenders can simply obtain actual possession of these and apply the funds to the loan under their AOR.

The third and fourth options each require delivery of a written demand to certain parties, directing them to pay rent to the lender instead of to the landlord. Once the demand is made, the tenant pays their rent directly to the lender, who then applies the funds to the defaulted loan. These are both great pre-litigation options, with advantages over the first two enforcement methods since actual possession can be difficult to obtain and courts move slowly with high costs to litigate. The written demands require a specific form to follow called the “Demand To Pay Rent to Party Other Than Landlord”, as found at CA Civil Code §2938(k). There are other notice requirements to be followed here, so it is essential to consult with an experienced attorney if you are considering either of these options. California Civil Code §2938 specifically provides that none of the four enforcement methods violate California’s One Action Rule nor the Anti-Deficiency Rule, so lenders can confidently enforce their AORs using the above methods with peace of mind that they are not violating other California laws.

Whether you are looking to originate a new loan, or you are facing a default by your borrower, understanding what an Assignment of Rents is and how it operates can be extremely beneficial. Enforcing an AOR can be an easier option than foreclosure and can help promote a good relationship with your borrower when handled correctly.

What Is a Deed of Trust With Assignment of Rents?

6 Tips to Save Using the Most Popular Food Delivery Apps

Some states refer to a voluntary lien against real property in exchange for money as a mortgage, while others refer to it as a deed of trust. Both mortgages and deeds of trust may incorporate an assignment of rents and leases that allows the lender to collect rent money held by,or due to, the property owner by tenants once the owner defaults or fails to make payments. An assignment of rents and leases may also be recorded as a separate document.

Absolute Assignment

A lender may require a borrower to execute an absolute assignment of rents in conjunction with a deed of trust. This conveys the rents to the lender at the time of the assignment but, in actuality, allows the borrower, as a licensee, to continue to collect the rents so long as the deed of trust is not in default. Payments under an absolute assignment will ordinarily be paid to the borrower or owner of the property as long as the loan secured by the deed of trust is not in default.

Collateral Assignment

In a collateral assignment, the borrower is generally considered to retain ownership of the rents until the lender takes action to enforce the assignment or gains possession of the property through foreclosure. One concern for the lender in this instance is that, in a judgement, other creditors will take priority, causing the lender to lose its security interest in the rent.

Rights After Default

Under an absolute assignment, if a borrower defaults on the deed of trust, the lender may request appointment of a receiver to collect the rents until foreclosure of the deed of trust or a determination of ownership of rents by a court of law. This prevents the borrower’s disposing of rent money due the lender, pending foreclosure. Under a collateral interest, however, some bankruptcy courts have held that the rents belong to the borrower until title to the real estate merges with the right to collect rents. If this is the case, and the borrower continues to operate as a debtor-in-possession of the property under bankruptcy, the lender may not be entitled to receive any rent money unless or until the bankruptcy court allows foreclosure of the property.

Uniform Assignment of Rents Act

Due to the inconsistency in interpretation of state law pertaining to assignment of rents and leases, some states have adopted a Uniform Assignment of Rents Act that better clarifies how rent monies will be handled in the event of default under the deed of trust and loan documents. The uniform act generally strengthens the lender’s position by recognizing his interest in rent money pending foreclosure and bankruptcy proceedings.

Deed Of Trust: What It Is And How It Works

Updated: Mar 2, 2023, 3:15am

Deed Of Trust: What It Is And How It Works

Buying property usually comes with an avalanche of paperwork. It can be a confusing process, especially when it comes to knowing the difference between the various documents you sign. If there’s one contract that’s important to understand, however, it’s the deed of trust.

Depending on your lender and the state you live in, you may or may not need a deed of trust when financing a home purchase. Here’s what you should know about this contract and how it differs from a mortgage .

What Is a Deed Of Trust?

When you finance the purchase of a property, you will sign either a mortgage or deed of trust—but not both. You can take out a mortgage in all 50 U.S. states, while a deed of trust is only available in some states.

A deed of trust is a legal document that secures a real estate transaction. It works similarly to a mortgage, though it’s not quite the same thing. Essentially, it states that a designated third party holds legal title to your property until you’ve paid it off according to the terms of your loan. Deeds of trust are recorded in public records just like a mortgage.

How Does a Deed of Trust Work?

A deed of trust exists so that the lender has some recourse if you don’t pay your loan as agreed. There are three parties involved in a deed of trust: the trustor, the beneficiary and the trustee.

The three parties involved in a deed of trust for a real estate transaction are a:

Trustor. This is the person whose assets are being held in the trust, also known as the borrower (i.e., you). The title to your home is held by the trust until the loan is paid off. Even so, you remain the equitable owner as long as you keep paying the loan according to the terms outlined in the deed of trust. That means you enjoy all the benefits of being the homeowner, such as the right to live there and gain equity, even though you aren’t the legal title holder.
Beneficiary. The beneficiary is the party whose investment interest is being protected. Usually, that’s the lender, though it also can be an individual with whom you have a contract.
Trustee. The trustee holds the legal title of the property while you’re making payments on the loan. Trustees often are title companies, but not always. Once you’ve paid off your loan, the trustee is responsible for dissolving the trust and transferring the title to you.

If you sell the property before it’s paid off, the trustee will use proceeds of the sale to pay the lender the remaining balance (you keep the profits). If you fail to meet your payment obligations and default on the mortgage, the property would go into foreclosure , and the trustee would be responsible for selling the property.

What Is Included in a Deed of Trust

A deed of trust includes many important details about your property, loan and related terms and conditions—much of the same information you would find in your mortgage. Typically, you’ll find the following outlined in a deed of trust:

The names of the parties involved (the trustee, trustor and beneficiary)
The original loan amount and repayment terms
A legal description of the property
The inception and maturity dates of the loan
Various clauses, such as acceleration and alienation clauses
Any riders regarding the clauses outlined

It’s common for a deed of trust to include acceleration and alienation clauses. If you’re delinquent on your loan, it can trigger the acceleration clause—essentially a demand for immediate repayment of the loan. Depending on the terms, this can happen after missing just one payment, though lenders often give a few months of leeway to allow the borrower to catch up on payments. If you fail to do so under the terms outlined in the acceleration clause, the next step is formal foreclosure proceedings.

An alienation clause is also known as a due-on-sale clause and it prevents anyone who buys the property to take on the loan under its current terms. Instead, the alienation clause would dictate that the loan must be paid in full if you sell the property.

Depending on your state, the deed of trust may also include a power of sales clause. This allows for a much faster foreclosure process than if your lender had to involve the state courts in a judicial foreclosure. That said, you won’t be foreclosed on overnight under a power of sales clause; the exact process differs by state and lender. Still, if you’re facing a nonjudicial foreclosure, it can happen in a matter of months. If you want to formally fight the foreclosure, you’ll need to hire a lawyer.

States that allow power of sale foreclosures include: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming.

Deed of Trust Vs. Mortgage

The terms “deed of trust” and “mortgage” are often used interchangeably, but they’re really two different things. That said, there are also some similarities. To review, here are the key ways a mortgage and deed of trust are similar as well as different.

Similarities

Public record: Both documents are recorded with the county clerk.
Subject to state law: The exact terms of a mortgage or a deed of trust depend on the local state law.
Contracts, not loans: Neither document serves as the actual loan agreement; a deed of trust or mortgage is a contract that places a lien on your property and dictates how your lender can repossess the property through foreclosure.

Differences

Parties involved: A mortgage is an agreement between a borrower and lender, while a deed of trust involves a trustor, beneficiary and trustee.
Foreclosure type: A mortgage requires a judicial foreclosure, while a deed of trust allows for a nonjudicial foreclosure.
Foreclosure timeline: Judicial foreclosure on a mortgage can be a lengthy process, while nonjudicial foreclosure through a deed of trust is much faster.

What’s the Advantage of a Trust Deed Over a Mortgage?

If the borrower defaults, a trust deed makes it possible for the lender to sell the property without having to go to court. With a mortgage, the lender has to file a foreclosure claim in court and secure a judge’s approval to sell the property. This can mean a lot of expenses for both the borrower and the lender.

If you are investing in a real estate project, a trust deed also has a few advantages over a mortgage. This is because the investor is considered the lender in the transaction, and their name is recorded on the trust deed as such. The investor can receive interest on their “loan” and the principal is repaid in full once the property has been built.

Warranty Deed Vs. Deed of Trust

Both a warranty deed and deed of trust are used to transfer the title of a property from one person to another. However, the difference between these two contracts is who is protected. As you now know, a deed of trust protects the beneficiary (lender). A warranty deed, on the other hand, protects the property owner.

When a property title is transferred with a warranty deed, ownership goes from the seller (also known as the grantor) to the buyer (also known as the grantee). The warranty deed guarantees that the previous owners, or grantor, had full ownership of the property and right to transfer it. In other words, it promises that you won’t inherit any liens or future claims against the property. It provides peace of mind that you own the property outright once the title is in your name.

Are Trust Deeds a Good Idea?

Trust deeds could be a good idea if you are an investor searching for options to earn passive income, while also being protected via the deed. However, investing in real estate is unpredictable and returns are never guaranteed. A trust deed does not reduce the probability of default or ensure that you will recoup your initial investment.

Consult with a financial advisor or investment professional before going down this route.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is an assignment of deed of trust.

An assignment of trust deed is necessary if a lender sells a loan secured by a trust deed. It assigns the trust deed to whoever buys the loan (such as another lender), granting them all the rights to the property. It is recorded along with the original, making it a matter of public record.

What happens with the deed of trust after you pay off your mortgage?

Once you pay off your loan, the trustee is responsible for releasing the trust and transferring the title to you. You now have full ownership of the home.

Can you sell a house with a deed of trust?

Yes, you can. However, if you are selling the house for less than the loan amount, you will need the lender’s approval. Once the property is sold, the trustee uses the proceeds to pay the lender what they are still owed. The borrower then gets any money that is left over.

How long does a deed of trust last?

A deed of trust, like a mortgage, typically has a maturity date, which is when the loan must be paid off in full. That date will vary transaction to transaction. Sometimes a deed of trust won’t have a maturity date. In this scenario, state law dictates the number of years a deed of trust lasts, anywhere from 10 to 60 years after it was recorded.

What is a purchase money deed of trust?

A purchase money deed of trust secures the funds used to buy the property. It also gives the buyer priority over any liens or encumbrances against them

Does a deed of trust show ownership?

No. A deed of trust is a legal document that secures a real estate transaction. It only shows that a designated third party holds legal title—i.e. ownership—to your property until you’ve paid it off, according to the terms of your loan.

LIVING TRUST

What is an assignment of trust deed.

By Tom Streissguth

What Is a Corporate Assignment of Deed of Trust?

Stack of house related papers, including mortgage and warranty

If you own a home, you may have signed a trust deed that gives the mortgage lender a claim on the property. A default on the loan gives the lender the legal authority to foreclose on the loan and take possession of the house. An assignment of a trust deed conveys that claim to another party.

Considerations

Lenders have the right to sell their home loans. This can happen once or several times over the long life of a mortgage. The usual customers for mortgages are banks and other companies that are seeking safe and stable investment returns. This "secondary" market for mortgages is quite active, and a lender has plenty of opportunity to sell a mortgage and turn a profit. Read More: What Is a Corporate Assignment of Deed of Trust?

When a lender sells the loan, it assigns the trust deed to the buyer. “Assignment” means to convey a claim or a right to another party, known as the “assignee.” This is done by creating another legal document — the assignment of trust deed — and having it signed by both buyer and seller. The trust deed, and other documents associated with the loan, become the property of the buyer.

The assignment of trust deed is a short, usually single-page document. The body text gives the names of the deed buyer and the property owner, the date of the original trust deed, and the legal description of the property for which the original deed was executed. It may also give the terms of the deed sale. The seller signs and dates the document, and has it notarized. The buyer then has the assignment of trust deed recorded with the registrar of the county where the property is located.

A borrower has no legal right to block or negotiate the terms of an assignment of trust deed. The assignment does not affect the terms of the loan. The monthly payments remain the same, although the borrower will have to send them to a new address. The new owner of the trust deed becomes the lender and collects all mortgage payments, sometimes on its own and sometimes through a servicing company. If a default occurs, the latest assignee has the right to foreclose and repossess the home.

Deed of Trust

Definition of deed of trust, what is a dead of trust.

Deeds of trust have become less popular as more people have opted for mortgages. One of the main differences between a deed of trust and a mortgage is that, with a mortgage, everyone involved in the transaction has a vested interest in the outcome of the arrangement. With a deed of trust, an impartial third party serves as trustee. For example, a deed of trust can only be sold by the trustee, who is not permitted to change the selling price to benefit either the borrower or lender.

Difference Between Deed of Trust and Mortgage

Many people believe that a mortgage is the loan that they take out on their property, but this is not actually true. The mortgage is the document that the borrower gives to the lender to allow the lender to place a lien on his property. If a property owner is unsure as to whether he has a mortgage or a deed of trust, the borrower can review the documents he received when the property was initially sold to him. The only time the difference between a deed of trust and a mortgage becomes an issue is if the property goes into foreclosure . This is because the foreclosure process is different for a property under deed of trust.

Foreclosure

Power of sale.

Once the property is sold at the trustee’s sale, the borrower’s title is automatically terminated. The trustee then issues a deed transferring the legal title to the property to the highest bidder. The bidder then records that deed and becomes the new owner of record. This is why lenders prefer deeds of trust over mortgages. They can sell the property much more quickly, recovering the collateral of the loan without needing to incur the expenses that would be involved with suing the borrower.

Deed of Trust Form

Assignment of deed of trust.

Lenders buy and sell loans all the time, with usually little to no effect on the borrower. The assignment of deed of trust simply serves as permission for one lender to sell the loan to another lender. Once the loan is re-assigned, the new lender takes over the same lien on the same piece of property, essentially stepping into the shoes of the prior lender. The borrower can be provided with a copy of the assignment of deed of trust upon repaying his debt in full.

Deed of Trust Example Concerning an Assignment of Deed of Trust

Mendoza’s argument was that Colleen Irby, who had signed the assignment as an officer of Chase, was actually an employee of California Reconveyance Company. Mendoza had gleaned this information from Irby’s LinkedIn.com page, where she identified herself as an employee of the latter. Mendoza therefore alleged that Irby acted fraudulently in performing the assignment. Mendoza accused Irby of being a “robo-signer,” which is someone who simply signs documents, with no legal authority whatsoever. Mendoza argued that the substitution of the trustee was equally fraudulent.

Understanding a deed of trust

Deed of trust vs. mortgage, wraparound mortgages, assignment of a deed of trust.

A deed of trust is a legal document that essentially puts a piece of property up as collateral for a loan. Although sometimes used in place of a mortgage, a deed of trust functions differently and makes foreclosing on the property simple for the lender.

A deed of trust is used with a loan when real property is used to secure the loan. The deed gives the lender the right to receive the proceeds of the sale of the property at auction if the loan is not paid. Unlike a warranty deed , which immediately transfers the owner's rights in the property to the buyer, a deed of trust is not intended to transfer title to a property unless the loan is unpaid.

A deed of trust has three parties:

trustor: the property owner borrowing the money
lender: the person or company making the loan, sometimes called the beneficiary
trustee: the person or company (often an escrow company ) who holds legal title to the real property under the deed and has the responsibility of selling the property at auction if the trustor doesn't make the required payments on the loan

A mortgage and a deed of trust are both used to secure a loan, which is a separate document. One difference between these two legal documents is that a deed of trust has three parties (trustor, lender, and trustee) while a mortgage has only two (lender and borrower). In the case of a mortgage, if a borrower does not pay the associated loan, the property must be foreclosed on in court so that the lender can sell it. A deed of trust, on the other hand, does not require a court process. The trustee can sell the property without a court order if the trustor does not pay. Because of this, a deed of trust allows for a faster and less expensive process if the loan is not paid.

A wraparound mortgage, also known as an inclusive deed of trust, is used when there is an existing mortgage on the property that remains in place. For example, Sandra has a mortgage on her home. Marco buys the home with the promise to pay her the monthly mortgage amount she owes, which Sandra then uses to pay the mortgage in her name. This arrangement is made legally binding with a deed of trust. If Marco doesn't pay Sandra, she forecloses and gets the property back without a court proceeding. So in essence, Marco's loan wraps around the existing mortgage to cover it, hence the name for this type of deed of trust.

Like any deed, a deed of trust can be transferred from one person to another, similar to the way a bank can sell a loan to another bank. The document that transfers a deed of trust, called an assignment of a deed of trust, must be filed in the county clerk's office to be valid.

A deed of trust is a convenient way to avoid a court proceeding if a loan is not paid. This type of nonjudicial foreclosure is quick and inexpensive for the person or company lending the money. You can prepare a deed of trust yourself or you can use an online service provider .

A deed of trust (also known as a trust deed) is a document sometimes used in financed real estate transactions, generally instead of a mortgage . Deeds of trust transfer the legal title of a property to a third party —such as a bank, escrow company, or title company—to hold until the borrower repays their debt to the lender.

Although deeds of trust are less common than they once were, some 20 states still mandate the use of one when financing is involved in the purchase of real estate. States where trust deeds are common include Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. A few states—such as Kentucky, Maryland, and South Dakota—allow the use of both trust deeds and mortgages.

Key Takeaways

A deed of trust is a document used in real estate transactions. It represents an agreement between the borrower and a lender to have the property held in trust by a neutral and independent third party until the loan is paid off.

Deeds of trust are used as an alternative to a mortgage, but there are differences between these arrangements.
A mortgage involves only two parties: the borrower and the lender. A deed of trust adds an additional party, a trustee, that holds the home’s title until the loan is repaid.
There are also different foreclosure arrangements related to these two documents.

Deeds of trust are used in financed real estate transactions: that is, when someone borrows money to buy real estate. During such a transaction, a lender gives the borrower money in exchange for one or more promissory notes linked to a deed of trust.

The deed of trust performs an important role in these transactions: The deed transfers legal title to the real property to an impartial trustee , typically a title company, escrow company, or bank, which holds it as collateral for the promissory notes. The equitable title—the right to obtain full ownership—remains with the borrower, as does full use of and responsibility for the property.

This state of affairs continues throughout the repayment period of the loan. The trustee holds the legal title until the borrower pays the debt in full, at which point the title to the property becomes the borrower’s. If the borrower defaults on the loan, then the trustee takes full control of the property.

A deed of trust can be used as an alternative to a mortgage. A mortgage involves two parties: a borrower (or mortgagor) and a lender (or mortgagee). In contrast, a deed of trust involves three parties: a borrower (or trustor), a lender (or beneficiary), and the trustee.

Deeds of trust can be compared with mortgages. Deeds of trust and mortgages are both used in bank and private loans for creating liens on real estate—that is, establishing a property as collateral for a loan. Because of this, and contrary to popular usage, a mortgage is not technically a loan to buy a property; it’s an agreement that pledges the property as collateral for the loan.

A deed of trust is different from a mortgage in a couple of ways:

First, a mortgage involves two parties: a borrower (or mortgagor) and a lender (or mortgagee). In contrast, a trust deed involves three parties: a borrower (or trustor), a lender (or beneficiary), and the trustee. The trustee holds title to the property for the lender’s benefit; if the borrower defaults , then the trustee will initiate and complete the foreclosure process at the lender’s request.

Second, mortgages and trust deeds have different foreclosure processes:

With a mortgage, the lender must pursue a judicial foreclosure . This is a court-supervised process enforced when the lender files a lawsuit against the borrower for defaulting on a mortgage. The process is time-consuming and expensive.
In contrast, a deed of trust lets the lender commence a faster and less expensive nonjudicial foreclosure, bypassing the court system and adhering to the procedures outlined in the trust deed and state law. If the borrower does not make the loan current, then the property is put up for auction through a trustee’s sale.

Is a Deed of Trust the Same as a Mortgage?

No. A mortgage only involves two parties: the borrower and the lender. A deed of trust adds an additional party, a trustee, who holds the home’s title until the loan is repaid. There are also different foreclosure arrangements related to these two documents.

What Is the Advantage of a Deed of Trust Over a Mortgage?

A deed of trust has a crucial advantage over a mortgage from the lender’s point of view. If the borrower defaults on the loan, then the trustee has the power to foreclose on the property on behalf of the beneficiary.

Are Trust Deeds a Good Idea?

Trust deeds can be a valuable aid to financial stability, but they are not right for everybody. They are best suited to people who have a regular income and can commit to regular payments. This is due to the stricter, faster foreclosures available with deeds of trust vs. regular mortgages.

Deeds of trust are used as an alternative to a mortgage, but there are differences between these arrangements. A mortgage only involves two parties: the borrower and the lender. A deed of trust adds an additional party, a trustee, who holds the home’s title until the loan is repaid. There are also different foreclosure arrangements related to these two documents.

A deed of trust is a real estate transaction agreement that allows a third-party trustee to hold the property title until the borrower repays the lender in full. The third party in a deed of trust is typically a title company or real estate broker [0] Cornell Law School Legal Information Institute . Deed of Trust . Accessed Jun 1, 2023. View all sources .

Over half of states use deeds of trust instead of mortgages , which involve only two parties. However, in many states, home loans are colloquially referred to as “mortgages,” although they may legally be deeds of trust.

The main difference between a mortgage and a deed of trust is that if you fall behind on loan payments, the property can be foreclosed on more quickly with a deed of trust than with a mortgage.

A deed of trust is not to be confused with a living trust , which is an estate planning tool that helps avoid probate. It also doesn’t transfer ownership of the real property as a property deed does.

Deeds of trust vs. mortgages

Deeds of trust and mortgages are lending agreements that place a lien, or legal claim until debt repayment, on real property. Here’s how they’re similar:

They’re subject to state laws.

Both are public record.

Both allow for foreclosure.

Both are considered contracts as opposed to loans.

However, there are two key differences:

Number of parties involved. A mortgage involves two parties: the lender and the borrower, while a deed of trust involves three parties: the lender, the borrower and the trustee.

Foreclosure type and time. Mortgages typically have to go through a judicial foreclosure, while deeds of trust generally can use a nonjudicial foreclosure process without involving the courts. Because a nonjudicial foreclosure process tends to be faster and less expensive than a judicial one, it usually takes less time and effort to foreclose with a deed of trust than with a mortgage.

As a home buyer, you don’t have the option to choose between a mortgage or a deed of trust, even if you live in one of the nine states that allow both. In those states, the lender chooses which document to use.

How does a deed of trust work?

A deed of trust works similarly to a mortgage by making a piece of real property the collateral for a loan. This means that if you don’t make your loan payments on time, your lender can foreclose on the property. Unlike a mortgage, though, a deed of trust typically allows for foreclosure without the need to first obtain a court order.

Here’s how the process works:

The trust deed includes a promissory note that spells out the exact terms of the loan including the principal, interest, occupancy, insurance and maintenance requirements. The borrower signs this note, agreeing to repay the borrowed money.

The trustee holds legal ownership of the property or in some states just holds the lien, which is a legal claim to the asset, but has no control over that property unless the borrower doesn’t make their scheduled payments per the terms of the agreement.

While the buyer is making payments, the lender keeps the promissory note. Once the loan is paid off, however, the promissory note is marked “paid in full” and the deed is returned to the buyer. At this point, the buyer will own the property outright.

Requirements to create a deed of trust

A valid deed of trust must always involve three parties:

The borrower, also known as the trustor.

The lender, also known as the beneficiary .

The trustee, which is typically a title company that holds legal title to the real property or, in some states, just holds the lien.

The deed of trust document should contain the following information:

The names of all the involved parties (borrower, lender and trustee).

A description of the property involved.

The original amount of the loan.

Loan inception and maturity dates.

Any fees or riders involved.

What will happen in the event of loan default.

Depending on the nature of the sale, any other relevant details.

Deed of trust by state

The following states (and Washington, D.C.) use deeds of trust instead of mortgages:

California.

Massachusetts.

Mississippi.

New Hampshire.

New Mexico.

North Carolina.

Rhode Island.

Washington.

West Virginia.

Deeds of trust and mortgages are allowed in these states:

South Dakota.

All remaining states use only mortgages:

Connecticut.

New Jersey.

North Dakota.

Pennsylvania.

South Carolina.

Deeds of trust vs. warranty deeds

A warranty deed is a document required by some lenders before they approve financing. It certifies that the seller is the true owner of the property and has the right to sell it and that there are no outstanding debts, liens, judgments or encumbrances on the property.

A deed of trust is a lending contract, while a warranty deed is offered by a seller to a buyer for the buyer’s protection.

You can deduct your loan interest payments on your income tax return for home mortgages and deeds of trust. To do so, just be sure the property has been recorded as your principal residence in your county records [0] IRS.gov . Publication 936 (2022), Home Mortgage Interest Deduction . Accessed Jun 1, 2023. View all sources .

If you have a loan secured by a deed of trust and your lender sells that trust deed, an assignment of trust deed assigns that deed of trust to the new buyer of your loan (typically another lender). The assignment of deed of trust grants the new loan purchaser all rights to the property and is recorded as public record along with the original deed of trust.

A reconveyance in a deed of trust is a transfer of property (minus the lien) to the borrower from the trustee or the lender. This happens when the borrower has paid off the loan and satisfied the terms of the debt, and it means the lender no longer has an interest in the property.

A Deed of Trust can be Assigned Apart from the Note, and that often occurs just before a foreclosure. But What Does That Mean? Not Much, the Deed of Trust is Inseparable from the Note

Notes and Deeds of Trust are often assigned to different parties. The question posed is what happens if the Deed of Trust alone is assigned ? A typical assignment of the Deed of Trust alone will purport to assign “all beneficial interest under that certain Deed of Trust dated xyz..” But the long-established law in California is clear: the beneficial interest under a Deed of Trust is held by the party who holds the Note (or is entitled to enforce it), without regard to the assignment of the Deed of Trust .

The subject was again addressed by the California Courts in Domarad v. Fisher & Burke, Inc. (1969) 270 Cal. App. 2d 543 ). The Court noted that a deed of trust is a mere incident of the debt it secures and that an assignment of the debt carries with it the security. “The deed of trust is inseparable from the debt and always abides with the debt, and it has no market or ascertainable value, apart from the obligation it secures and that a deed of trust has no assignable quality independent of the debt, it may not be assigned or transferred apart from the debt, and an attempt to assign the deed of trust without a transfer of the debt is without effect. (emph. added)”

In Stockwell v. Barnum ((1908) 7 Cal. App. 413) the Court stated that this Code “is wholly foreign to deeds of trust, which, instead of creating a lien only, as in the case of a mortgage, passes the legal title to the trustee, thus enabling him in executing the trust to transfer to the purchaser a marketable record title. It is immaterial who holds the note. The transferee of a negotiable promissory note, payment of which is secured by a deed of trust whereby the title to the property and power of sale in case of default is vested in a third party as trustee, is not an incumbrancer to whom power of sale is given…” Stockwell @ 417.

And more recently “it has been established since 1908 that this statutory requirement that an assignment of the beneficial interest in a debt secured by real property must be recorded in order for the assignee to exercise the power of sale applies only to a mortgage and not to a deed of trust.” ( Calvo v. HSBC Bank USA, N.A. (2011) 199 Cal.App.4th 118 , 122.)

Why is that? There is a technical difference between the two security instruments. The mortgage only involves two parties –the borrower who grants the power of sale to the lender, and the lender who then holds the beneficial interest in the mortgage plus the power of sale. A deed of trust, on the other hand, involves three parties: the borrower, the lender, and the trustee who is granted conditional title to the encumbered property as well as the power of sale.

Thus, the deed of trust may thus be assigned one or multiple times over the life of the loan it secures. But if the borrower defaults on the loan, only the current beneficiary may direct the trustee to undertake the nonjudicial foreclosure process. “[O]nly the ‘true owner’ or ‘beneficial holder’ of a Deed of Trust can bring to completion a nonjudicial foreclosure under California law.” Yvanova v. New Century Mortgage (62 Cal. 4th 919) (2016)

An Alternative The Commercial Code also provides a mechanism for recording an assignment of the security if there has been an off-record transfer of the note but no recorded assignment of the deed of trust or mortgage. The buyer of the note can record a copy of the transfer agreement whereby the note was acquired, together with a sworn statement that a default has occurred, and in that event may proceed with a nonjudicial foreclosure. ( Cal. Com. Code, § 9607, subd. (b))
