Updated
January 19, 2023
A Deed of Trust is a sort of secured real-estate transaction that is used in some states instead of mortgages. A trust deed consists of three parties: a lender, a borrower, and a trustee. The lender lends money to the borrower. In exchange, the borrower hands over one or more promissory notes to the lender.
