Questions answered? Let's get started!

New Mexico has the Deed of Trust Act.
Foreclosure can be done non-judicially, saving time and expense. This process is called a Trustee Sale. After the Trustee sale the borrower has a right to redeem the property. This form allows one-month vs nine-months.
NM Statute 48-10-16(A)
Except as otherwise provided in Subsection E of this section, the redemption period after a trustee's sale shall be nine months, or the period provided in the deed of trust, whichever is the lesser period, and shall begin to run from the date of the trustee's sale. In the deed of trust, the parties may shorten the redemption period to not less than one month.

There are three parties in this Deed of Trust:
1- The Grantor (Borrower)
2- Beneficiary (Lender) and a
3- Trustee (Neutral Third Party)
Basic Concept. The Grantor (Borrower) conveys property title to a Trustee (Neutral Party). A Trustee or beneficiary can take an action against any person for damages.

Use this form for financing residential property, small commercial, rental property (up to 4 units), condominiums and planned unit developments. A Deed of Trust and Promissory Note with stringent default terms/conditions can be beneficial to the lender, mostly used by investors or parties selling and/or financing a real property.

It is a difficult challenge -- trying to take the needless jargon out of legal transactions so ordinary citizens can manage their affairs. Deeds.com hasn't solved all the problems, but has made a super effort to help us achieve self-sufficiency.

Ultimately, it directed me to the wrong form. Not very helpful. I had to turn to a title company to get my issue addressed.

Our website makes documents available to you. It does not direct you as to which one to use. We are glad that you sought the assistance it sounds like you needed. Have a wonderful day

Deed.com is an amazing site. After calling many places and going on many websites to figure out what I needed to submit (most counties cannot help with questions and the place I needed to turn the documents into could not help either, they are not allowed to give legal advice) I came across Deeds.com. It has been so helpful and I was able to research what documents I needed. I purchased one document and after more research I realized I needed a different document. Deed.com refunded my first purchase. I then purchased an Affidavit of Death and a Deed for the county and state I needed them for. Both the example and guide were very helpful and I will be submitting my documents after I have them notarized. I give five stars
