Questions answered? Let's get started!

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.

One thing I would suggest that could be changed is the last page because we have a trust and I had to retype that page to include the trust and both trustee's signatures.
