FinanceIntermediateArizona Exam

Arizona uses primarily deeds of trust rather than mortgages for real property financing because:

ADeeds of trust entitle the lender to collect the full debt from the borrower after foreclosure, since Arizona's anti-deficiency protections do not apply to deeds of trust
BDeeds of trust allow for a non-judicial (trustee's sale) foreclosure process that is faster than judicial foreclosureCorrect
CArizona law allows deeds of trust but has prohibited the use of mortgages since the legislature codified the trustee's sale process in 1971
DDeeds of trust are required under Arizona's Uniform Land Transactions Act for all residential loans above $100,000, while mortgages may only be used below that threshold

Why Deeds of trust allow for a non-judicial (trustee's sale) foreclosure process that is faster than judicial foreclosure Is Correct

Answer B: Deeds of trust allow for a non-judicial (trustee's sale) foreclosure process that is faster than judicial foreclosure

Arizona primarily uses deeds of trust because they allow a non-judicial foreclosure process (trustee's sale), which is faster and less expensive than the judicial foreclosure required for mortgages.
