Deed of Trust
A legal document, equivalent to a mortgage, used in some jurisdictions to transfer title of a property to a third party (trustee) to hold as security for the lender. The document establishes the trustee’s 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 happens at the sale?
We announce the opening bid and ask the bidders to qualify by identifying themselves and showing the Auctioneer their cash and/or cashier’s checks in an amount sufficient to bid. All American Foreclosure Service conducts the sale and the successful bid is the highest bid over the opening bid. If there are other bidders, the highest bidder gains ownership of the property. We then accept money, obtain personal information and give the successful bidder a receipt. The Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale is prepared and delivered to them by the Trustee within a few days of the sale. The lender receives their money and an accounting as well.
