Deeds of Trust are the preferred method of securing debt on property in Colorado, if the Deed of Trust includes a proper power of sale clause the lender can pursue a public trustee foreclosure in the case of default. The borrower pre-authorizes the sale of property to pay off the balance on a loan in the event of the their default.
("Deed of trust" means a security instrument containing a grant to a public trustee together with a power of sale.) ( 38-38-100.3(7))

A promissory note is a promise to pay and includes things such as interest rates, default rates, late fees, penalties, etc. The Deed of Trust makes the promissory note a debt secured by a lien on the subject property. In Colorado a promissory note must include the loan amount, payment schedule and time frame. Both borrowers and lenders must sign.

For use in Colorado only on residential property, rental property, condominiums, vacant land, second homes and planned units.

Please change on the example for the warranty deed the portion that says Source of Title:
They don't use book and pages anymore They only use recording numbers. Please show an example with that for Maricopa County AZ

Plus your Notary certificates should have a blank part for if it is signed in another state.

So far help has been good given some of the information you don't have as far as making corrections. This is my first time using your service so maybe I will be better at utilizing it if I have to again.

The technology and service was excellent. The content was too limited. I was seeking to find out about 61b deeds on the property and that was not provided.

We appreciate your feedback Patricia.

The forms are extremely helpful. They could use some updating. Promissory note "...in the form of cash, check or money order." is a bit outdated. My note is with my son and we have an automatic bank transfer set up for payments. He could Venmo me. There are many other options and likely to be more changes in the future, so I know this is difficult to maintain.

I like the basics. The one thing I would recommend changing would be, something that tells me I have actually have submitted my package, or that I can leave at any time without needing to click on a "Submit" button.
