A Deed of Trust is the most common instrument used to finance real property in Idaho. A Deed of Trust with a power of sale allows for a non-judicial foreclosure, saving time and expense for the lender. A Deed of Trust/Promissory Note that include stringent default terms can be beneficial to the lender. Use these forms for financing real property: vacant land, residential property, rental units, condominiums, small commercial and planned unit developments.
The promissory note is held by the lender and used for reconveyance once the deed of trust has been satisfied, it is considered to be severable and addresses past due dates, late charges, fees for additional days late, maturity dates, traditional finance and balloon payments, default rates, default terms and conditions, etc.
