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.

The program fields should allow the customer to change font size and allow additional space for information to be place on the Deed. Not Bad, still needs improvement.
Thank you for your feedback Maurice. Unfortunately we do not make the requirements for things like font size and margins, we only make the documents to be compliant with them.

The Lady Bird Deed appears to be fine with me as are the instructions. However, there apparently are no specific laws in Texas addressing them other than they are OK. The problem is that lenders are surely going to use them as triggers for their due on sale clauses, especially as the current small mortgage rates begin to increase. The solution to that seems to be to sign and have them notarized, but not to record them unless the holder needs to enforce the provisions. It seems to me that you should consider your solution to that problem in your instructions.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
