Questions answered? Let's get started!

A deed of trust (DOT), also known as a trust deed, is a document that conveys title to real property to a trustee as security for a loan until the grantor (borrower) repays the lender according to terms defined in the promissory note. It's similar to a mortgage but differs in that mortgages only include two parties (borrower and lender). The laws of each state determine whether to use a deed of trust or a mortgage.

This form may be used for residential property, condominiums, second homes, vacant land, planned unit developments, small commercial and rental property with up to 4 units, if more than 4 units-attach our assignment of leases and rents form.

This DOT contains a Power of Sale Clause allowing for a non-judicial foreclosure, saving time and expense for the lender. The promissory note can be used for installment or balloon payments. A deed of trust and promissory note containing stringent default terms can be beneficial to the Beneficiary/Lender.

(California Long Form Deed of Trust Package includes forms, guidelines, and completed examples) For use in California only.

Navigating the site was fine, but the service was not able to find my deed. Still have not received my refund.

Thanks for your feedback Kenneth. Sorry we were not able to pull the deed for your property. We voided your payment on December 28, 2018. Sometimes, depending on your financial institution, it can take a few days for the pending charge (hold) to expire.

Generally, once the documents are completed and executed they are recorded with the recorder where the property is located.

Your system is completely unfriendly to the user. There is no clear way, unless you are a lawyer, to go through the the process without making mistakes. Very disappointed attempted user

Sorry to hear that we failed you Bernadette. We do hope that you were able to find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere.

If my availability does not coincide with your business hours it should not prevent me from uploading my documents and making payment. You should allow people to upload their documents at any time with the understanding that you will process them on your next business day.

Very straightforward. Only issue was it took a few times for the mineral deed form to show up. The first few times it instead showed a mineral rights transfer between operators.

You did not include the Notice of Intent to File a Lien Statement form which is necessary to properly file a mechanic's lien in Colorado. If you are going to charge people $20 to download the forms, you should include all of them not half of them.
