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.

LOVE THIS!! I am a REALTORand from time to time I have had to take documents for filing. I'm so glad I invested some time online researching eFiling services. The first few search results that populated required an expensive annual or monthly subscription. Luckily I continued to scroll and found Deeds.com. No annual or monthly subscription required. Just pay per use. I uploaded a ROL late one night and Deed.com had it eFiled the very next morning!!! They keep you updated throughout the process via email notifications which you click on the link provided in the email that directs you to your online portal to view the status and once your documents have been filed you can immediately download the filed of record documents including the receipt from the county in which the documents were filed. SO SIMPLE, CONVENIENT, & QUICK-THANK YOU DEEDS.com!!!

Nice forms but it sure would have been nice to be able to at least print the guide and the example so that I don't spend all of my time bouncing back and forth between windows on a laptop.
