In Colorado's deed of trust, the three parties are: (1) the Trustor (borrower/grantor) who conveys title to the trustee; (2) the Trustee (Colorado's county public trustee) who holds title; and (3) the Beneficiary (lender) who holds the note. The trustor is the homeowner who grants the deed of trust to secure the loan.
