Deed of Trust
A deed of trust is a legal document used to secure interest in real estate. Some states use trust deeds instead of mortgages. Although these two documents are similar in nature there is one primary difference. With a deed of trust the lender retains the property title until the loan is paid in full. With a mortgage, the buyer holds the title while the lender is provided with a property lien.
Deed of trust mortgages involve three parties and include the borrower, lender and trustee. The borrower is provided with a mortgage loan through the lender and must designate the lender as beneficiary to the legal title. The trustee retains the property title throughout the duration of the loan.

Foreclosures in Arizona have risen over 40 percent since last year and Colorado reports 1 out of every 345 households has filed forclosure or on the brink of filing. Vermont, Maine and the District of Columbia seem to be the only states immune from forclosures. However, experts predict foreclosure rates will rise in these states when adjustable-rate mortgages start escalating.
