a document which pledges real property to secure a loan, used instead of a mortgage
in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Mississippi,
Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. The property
is deeded by the title holder (trustor) to a trustee (often a title or escrow company)
which holds the title in trust for the beneficiary (the lender of the money). When
the loan is fully paid, the trustor requests the trustee to return the title by
reconveyance. If the loan becomes delinquent the beneficiary can file a notice of
default and, if the loan is not brought current, can demand that the trustee begin
foreclosure on the property so that the beneficiary may either be paid or obtain
title.
