Property Ownership
What is a 'deed of trust' and how does it function in Nevada foreclosure?
AA deed transferring property to a trustee permanently
BA three-party security instrument (trustor/borrower, trustee, beneficiary/lender) used instead of a mortgage in Nevada; if the borrower defaults, the trustee can conduct a non-judicial foreclosure sale✓ Correct
CA document used in Nevada probate to transfer inherited property
DA deed used only for commercial property transactions in Nevada
Explanation
Nevada primarily uses deeds of trust (rather than mortgages) as the security instrument for real estate loans. The trustor (borrower) conveys title to a trustee (typically a title company) to hold on behalf of the beneficiary (lender). If the trustor defaults, the trustee can conduct a non-judicial trustee's sale (foreclosure) under NRS 107 without court involvement — making Nevada's process faster than judicial mortgage foreclosure states.
