A deed of trust (DOT) is a document that conveys title to real property to a trustee as security for a loan until the grantor (borrower) repays the lender according to terms defined in a promissory note. It's similar to a mortgage but differs - mortgages only include two parties (borrower and lender). In Texas a Deed of Trust is the preferred lending instrument.
There are three parties to a deed of trust: the borrower (grantor), the lender (beneficiary), and the trustee. The trustee, typically a title agency or other disinterested party, serves two purposes: to initiate the foreclosure process for the lender if the borrower defaults on the loan, and to transfer (reconvey) the property back to the borrower after the debt is paid in full.
This DOT includes a power of sale clause, this can be beneficial to the lender, saving time and expense in the case of a foreclosure. Sec.51.0074. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.
(a) One or more persons may be authorized to exercise the power of sale under a security instrument.
(b) A trustee may not be:
(1) assigned a duty under a security instrument other than to exercise the power of sale in accordance with the terms of the security instrument; or
(2) held to the obligations of a fiduciary of the mortgagor or mortgagee.
Use these forms to finance real property; residential, rental, condominiums, vacant land, and planned unit developments. A promissory note secured by a deed of trust, that include stringent default terms can be beneficial to the lender, typical of owner financing, investor financing, etc.

Deeds.com was so simple and easy to use! My local recorders office is closed due to COVID-19 and their recording said to use Deeds.com. I thought it was going to either be very complicated or very expensive and it was neither!!! The site walked me through step by step and the price of their service was very fair and affordable. They were very timely and efficient and my documents were recorded almost immediately! Thank you Deeds.com!!!
Thank you Robyn, glad we could help.

First time using Deeds.com and feel that your platform is clear and easy to use. I was also pleased with the messaging center and follow-up and also surprised at how quickly our particular deed was recorded and available to view. Having said that, when I first investigated Deeds.com the fee was $15 and as of 1/1/21 it has increased to $19 which I feel is pretty steep for the handling of 1 simple document especially when the turnaround was basically the same day. Your fee was nearly the equivalent of the cost of the Clerk's recording fee. Perhaps you should offer a fee schedule for those of us who are not volume recorders. Just a thought.
Thank you!

I am so glad I found this resource! As the Executor of a family members estate I wanted to save money by bypassing a lawyer as it seemed pretty straight forward to tranfer a Life Estate to the remainderman. (I had original deeds). But talking with 3 different states and 4 different counties - none of which seemed to need the same documents, I was almost ready to dump this in a lawyer's lap. This resource makes it simple!
