Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Deed of Trust is a (security instrument securing the payment or satisfaction of any debt or other obligation.) (MRS 443.005) This is often considered a preferred method of financing real property because foreclosures are done non-judicially with no right of redemption, through a trustee sale, saving time (typically 60-90 days if uncontested) and expense. This Deed of Trust contains a "Power of Sale" clause, in the case of default the borrower(s) have pre-authorized the sale of the property. Without a "Power of Sale" a judicial foreclosure will likely have to be performed. (See 443.290 Mortgages and security agreements with power of sale)

The "Promissory Note" defines the terms of the loan, Principle owed, interest rate charged, default rate (interest charged if Note is in Default), late payment fees, etc.

These forms are flexible, use for residential, rental units, vacant land, small office and commercial. A "Special Provisions" section allows the lender to further customize the package to his/her needs. Can be used when existing liens are in place.

Fully formatted for recording. (See MRS 443.035. Recording of instrument required)
A Deed of Trust and Promissory Note that includes stringent default terms can be beneficial the lender/debt holder.

This service is excellent. I submitted a Quickclaim Deed so my home would be in the name of a Living Trust I had just created. This was my first attempted at any of this and the staff person, KVH, who reviewed my Deed was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had and to make sure the Deed had the correct information before submittal to the county for recording. I started the process one afternoon and by the next day, the Deed was submitted to, and recorded in, my county. I will use them again whenever needed.

I was in despair as I needed to file two (2) very important documents with the County. Due to Covid the office was closed and my only recourse was to E-Fie with a service provider. I was fortunate enough to hear about Deeds.com. They were specific, courteous, patient and most of all productive. My documents will take awhile for the final filing but that is because the County happens to have a slow turn around time. Otherwise, I am now relieved that this part is over. Thank you Deeds.com. You are awesome.
