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.

Excellent service, great feedback and recommendations by the deed preparer, and I really appreciate the personalized service. The website is amazing, everything is well thought out, and all messages are saved, clear and easy to read. I wish my website was so easy to navigate! Seriously, the person who worked on my account is awesome. They made recommendations about what to include and what not to include. They didn't make me feel dumb for asking questions about out-of-state service and filing procedures, and I will be using Deeds.com exclusively on my cases. Five stars !

Easy to use and instructions were very clear. If possible, it would be nice to be able to download the entire package at one time - it was a little cumbersome to download each item separately. (Of course, I didn't know which of the items I needed, so downloaded them all)
