A "Deed to Secure Debt" often called a "Security Deed" that is protected by a "Promissory Note" is the preferred method of financing by Lenders in Georgia. Foreclosures can be done non-judicially saving time and expense. It being intended by the parties that this document shall operate as a deed, not as a mortgage and is made under those provisions of O.C.G.A. Sections 44-14-60 through 44-14-85 to secure the payment of Indebtedness.
There are two parties in this instrument.
"Borrower" means a person who has secured an indebtedness with a security interest in real property or a person who has taken an interest in real property subject to an outstanding security interest in the real property and has notified the holder of the security interest that he has taken the real property and assumed the indebtedness secured by the real property. (Section 44-14-5)(1)
"Lender" means a person who has a security interest in real property, which interest is evidenced by a security deed, a mortgage, a trust deed, a bond for title, or other security document granting a security interest in real property to secure an indebtedness owed to the lender. (Section 44-14-5)(2)
All transfers of deeds to secure debt shall be in writing; shall be signed by the grantee or, if the deed has been previously transferred, by the last transferee; and shall be witnessed as required for deeds. 44-14-64(a) This Document meets Georgia County and State recording requirements
Every deed to secure debt shall be recorded in the county where the land conveyed is located. Every bill of sale to secure debt shall be recorded in the county where the maker, if a resident of this state, resided at the time of its execution and, if a nonresident, in the county where the personalty conveyed is located. Deeds or bills of sale not recorded shall remain valid against the persons executing them. The effect of the failure to record deeds and bills of sale shall be the same as the effect of the failure to record a deed of bargain and sale. 44-14-63(a)
(A deed to secure debt shall not be recorded unless it includes the mailing address of the grantee thereof.) (44-14-63(b))
The Promissory Note is a contract used to evidence the debt owed by the borrower. The borrower promises to pay the lender the agreed amount under certain terms and conditions, these include interest rate, late payments, default interest rate (what the interest rate increases to, after a specified number of days)
Use for Residential Property, Condominiums, Rental Property, Vacant Land, Planned Unit Development and Small Commercial Property.

I had an issue due to the fact that I had many beneficiaries. I was and still am not sure how to handle this. We do have Adobe Pro and can modify the form, if needed. But I would like to talk to your organization for more information.
While we are unable to assist you specifically with completing the document we can note that this is addressed in the guide. Information that does not fit in the available space should be included in an exhibit page.

I liked getting the forms but I was charged twice for some reason. I'm not sure what happened with that. Can you reimburse me? Thank you. Lanette
Thank you for your feedback Lanette. In review, it looks like your first payment was declined, second one was approved and processed. What you are seeing is one payment and a hold placed by your financial institution for the declined attempt. We are not sure why they do this but the hold usually falls off after a few day depending on their policy. If you have further questions about this you can contact your financial institution and they will explain. Have a great day.

The information and instructions provided is thorough and great. But, the fill-in-the-blanks form does not work well and is very frustrating. The font size of the information I was adding on each individual line varies and is determined by the number of characters entered on that individual line. So the font size is different on each line. And the number of lines is fixed making it impossible to fill in the full legal name of the trust I needed to fill out the form for. My needs are somewhat unusual, but the form should have been designed to be flexible enough to handle it. A blank paper form would have been more useful.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

In Colorado a Release of a Deed of Trust without the original note must be efiled - the Recorder said it had to be Simplifile or CSC Global neither of whom are designed to do a 1 off filing (you have to subscribe). Fortunately, I found Deeds.com - they were great. helped me work through a couple clerical issues and it is done. I am so happy and pleased. I would give them more stars if I could. I will spread the word among the realtors and title companies who couldn't help that there is a better option.
Thank you, John. We’re glad we could help get the Colorado release submitted and recorded. We appreciate the kind words and especially appreciate you spreading the word to others who may run into the same filing roadblocks.
