What Is a Deed of Trust in Real Estate?

A deed of trust real estate document is a critical legal instrument used in California property financing. Unlike traditional mortgages used in other states, California primarily uses deeds of trust to secure real property as collateral for a loan. This three-party agreement involves the borrower (trustor), the lender (beneficiary), and a neutral third party (trustee) who holds legal title until the loan is fully repaid.

Understanding the distinction between a grant deed and deed of trust is important for property owners. A grant deed transfers ownership of property from one party to another, while a deed of trust secures a loan against that property. Both documents work together in real estate transactions—the grant deed establishes ownership, and the deed of trust protects the lender’s financial interest.

Your information will be kept confidential.
A Deed of Trust is a legal document used in some states in place of a mortgage. It involves three parties: the borrower (trustor), the lender (beneficiary), and a neutral third party (trustee) who holds the title to the property until the loan is repaid.
The main difference is in the foreclosure process. Deeds of Trust typically allow for a non-judicial foreclosure, which is faster and less expensive than a judicial foreclosure required with a mortgage. This is because the trustee can sell the property without court intervention if the borrower defaults.
For lenders, Deeds of Trust offer a quicker and more efficient foreclosure process. For borrowers, they may provide lower interest rates or fees due to the reduced risk for the lender. However, it’s essential to understand the terms and potential consequences of default.
If you default, the lender can instruct the trustee to begin foreclosure proceedings. The trustee will send a notice of default and, after a waiting period, will schedule a public auction of the property. It’s crucial to seek legal advice immediately if you’re facing default.
Yes, you can refinance a Deed of Trust. Refinancing involves taking out a new loan to pay off the existing Deed of Trust. This can be done to secure a lower interest rate, change the loan term, or access equity in your property. Consult with Trustpoint to explore your refinancing options.
