Trustee
In a Deed of Trust loan agreement, the legal term referring to the third party who, on behalf of the beneficiary, holds the title to real property as security for the repayment of a loan. In the event of default, the trustee has the right to foreclose on the secured property; the trustee has a fiduciary responsibility to both the borrower (to hand over the deed if paid in full) and the lender (to foreclose in the event of default).

What if my loan is a 2nd Deed of Trust and sometime during this process the 1st Deed of Trust records a Notice of Default?
The process is the same for that Notice of Default. The borrower, or current owner has 3 months plus 21 days to reinstate or payoff the loan. After discussion with legal or tax counsel, it is usually prudent to bring this senior loan current. This advance to a senior can be included in your payoff amount. While you should make attempts to contact the lender, it requires time and patience. We suggest contacting the lender after obtaining a Loan Number, to obtain information or amounts that may be required to bring the loan current (out of default) or to pay if off.
