Assignment Trust FAQ
Whether you have a deed of trust or a mortgage, they both serve to assure that a loan is repaid, either to a lender or an individual person. A mortgage only involves two parties the borrower and the lender. A deed of trust adds an additional party, a trustee, who holds the home's title until the loan is repaid.
Some states have laws governing who may or may not serve as a trustee in a deed of trust. Generally, the trustee must be an attorney, title insurance company, trust company, bank, savings and loan, credit union, or other company specifically authorized by law to serve as a trustee.
A deed of trust is the most commonly used mortgage instrument in Texas for both residential and commercial transactions. A mortgage has also been described as a grant of fee on condition of the payment of a debt.
Some owners are put off using solicitors duke to the deed of trust cost. Individuals can write out their own, and use someone else as a witness. However, this may have errors or not be a legally binding document. The investment of getting a deed of trust when buying a property is often worth it in the long term.
When your mortgage lender decides he wants to sell your mortgage loan to another lender, your mortgage lender will sign an assignment of deed of trust in favor of the new lender. This assignment gives the new lender the same lien on your property that your original lender had under the mortgage loan.
A deed of trust is used to create a security interest in real property as collateral for a loan. A deed of trust is similar to a mortgage, but a deed of trust grants legal title to the trustee while the property owner retains equitable title to the property.
The following states use Deed of Trusts: Alaska, Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, and Virginia.
In a deed of trust, the borrower is called the trustor and the lender is the beneficiary. The trustee holds title to the property until the trustor has fully repaid the loan to the beneficiary, at which time the lender notifies the trustee, who then transfers full title of the property to the trustor.
Tip. A security instrument is a legal document giving the bank a security interest in the property. It can be a mortgage, giving the lender a lien on the property, or a deed of trust, whereby a trustee holds the deed for the lender until you finish paying off the loan.

Law summary
Assignment of Deed of Trust by Individual Mortgage Holder
Assignments Generally:
Lenders, or holders of mortgages or deeds of trust, often assign mortgages or deeds of trust to other lenders, or third parties. When this is done the assignee (person who received the assignment) steps into the place of the original lender or assignor. To effectuate an assignment, the general rule is that the assignment must be in proper written format and recorded to provide notice of the assignment.
Satisfactions Generally:
Once a mortgage or deed of trust is paid, the holder of the mortgage is required to satisfy the mortgage or deed of trust of record to show that the mortgage or deed of trust is no longer a lien on the property. The general rule is that the satisfaction must be in proper written format and recorded to provide notice of the satisfaction. If the lender fails to record a satisfaction within set time limits, the lender may be responsible for damages set by statute for failure to timely cancel the lien. Depending on your state, a satisfaction may be called a Satisfaction, Cancellation, or Reconveyance. Some states still recognize marginal satisfaction but this is slowly being phased out. A marginal satisfaction is where the holder of the mortgage physically goes to the recording office and enters a satisfaction on the face of the the recorded mortgage, which is attested by the clerk.
Texas Law
Recording Satisfaction:
There are no provisions requiring a Texas creditor to release a fully paid debt, but if a creditor fails to do so within 60 days of full payoff, a representative of a title insurance company may record an affidavit which releases the lien described in the affidavit.
Acknowledgment:
An assignment or satisfaction must contain a proper Texas acknowledgment, or other acknowledgment approved by Statute.
