Explanation
In a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the borrower voluntarily conveys the property to the lender to avoid the foreclosure process. The lender typically requires the property to be free of other liens. In Nevada, deed-in-lieu arrangements were common during the 2008-2012 foreclosure crisis. They affect credit less severely than foreclosure but the deficiency implications under Nevada law should be carefully analyzed.
