Explanation

A trustee's deed is issued by the trustee after a non-judicial foreclosure sale under a deed of trust (Oregon's primary security instrument). Oregon uses deeds of trust rather than mortgages, and non-judicial (trustee's sale) foreclosure is the standard method. The successful bidder at the trustee's sale receives a trustee's deed.
