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.

Fill in the blanks portions are so limited, it makes it almost impossible to use.

Sorry to hear that David. Your order and payment has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere.

Order Process: 5 Stars - very easy Material Received: 2 Stars Issues: 1. Printing- Document would not print in format displayed. Format would continually shrink to approx 2/3 size thus not useable for formal doc submission to County Records office. 2. Document Format- Data insertion fields (addresses) were not of correct size for data input. I needed a 4 line input space but was limited to only 3 lines. Also, Date field (year) was mis-oriented in-so-much that the 3rd digit (inputted) overlapped on 2nd digit (pre-printed) and also was of noticeably different font. 3. Useability- Hand-written input space provided (for Notary) was deficient in space and spacing. It was a challenge to utilize the space available to complete fully and maintain legibility. Overall - the document worked marginally as advertised, I did need to re-write the entire document myself. It is a good concept but I'd recommend that Deeds company improve the downloaded forms for actual useability, readability, functionability. regards, Jim S

Very pleased. I spent a fair amount of time chasing a blank form only to be told it couldn't be given to me - I had to go through my attorney. Going thru the deeds.com was a breeze; the blank form looked exactly like one I had filed before :-)

Forms are good. But need to be able to fill in information and blanks so these can be filed. Disappointed.

Thank you for your feedback. The forms are fill in the blank, Adobe PDFs. As is noted on the site, make sure you download the documents to your computer and open them with Adobe. Sounds like you may be trying to complete them online in your browser.

It was confusing at first, but the customer service was excellent and fast and I got everything taken care of right away. I'll use Deeds.com even after the recorder's office is open to the public.

I am generally pleased with your products. However, I found it difficult to return to the package after accessing one selected document. One other comment: Your Trustee's Deed package should include a Certificate of Trust form.

This was the first time to use the Deeds.com website for preparing my deed document. This was painless and easy to follow the instructions and sample package for filling in the blank boxes document. The city clerk was impressed to review my document and easily filed my deed record without questions. I would recommend anyone to prepare a legal form that is available from the Deeds.com website.

It was very easy to set up the account but then everything is very costly. I didn't see any publications that were free to account holders, so as infrequently I have to do a title search, I may as well just hire an online service to do the legwork too.
