1. Borrower/Obligor 2. Debtor/Original Lender 3. Secured Party(SP)/3rd Party/New Lender

This form assigns the current Debtors/lenders security interest in a promissory note backed by a previously recorded Deed of Trust Lien, with all rights, titles, equities and interest securing the same as described in that certain Deed of Trust. This collateral is assigned to a Secured Party to protect a Security Agreement made between the Debtor and Secured Party. A collateral assignment is a pledge that the Debtor will pay the Secured Party as agreed. Debtor authorizes Secured Party, at Secured Party's option, to collect any and all sums becoming due upon the Collateral, such sums to be held by Secured Party without liability for interest thereon and applied toward the payment of the Obligations as and when the same becomes payable, and Secured Party shall have the full control of the Collateral and the Deed of Trust Lien securing the same until the Obligations are fully paid and shall have the further right to release the Deed of Trust Lien securing the Collateral upon the full and final payment to Secured Party.

Typically used by Private Lenders/Debtors to borrow money on a property that they financed by a Deed of Trust Lien and Promissory Note.

I never could even think to solve an important issue involving even overseas individuals without even a lawyer within 24 h. This service works for real and I'll keep using it from now for any future needs, referring to and proposing it as a legitimate, trusted real Optimus service. I'm extremely satisfied and being a Public Official myself I got to say that these guys have really impressed me!

Being new at this, the system was somewhat difficult to understand at first. It took a couple of tries before I got it. It seems to be somewhat slow as well. However, it's a wonderful idea to have documents recorded from the comfort of your home, especially in the times that we are in with COVID19. I definitely don't mind paying the fee which I thought was reasonable.

I used the Quitclaim form. The form was easy to complete without using the example or guide. $21 was a fair price compared to paying a lawyer.
