A Notice to Trustee of Assignment is a legal document used to transfer the ownership of a deed of trust from one party to another. It is used when a borrower transfers a deed of trust to a third party, such as a lender or a buyer. This document informs the trustee of the deed of trust that the ownership has been transferred and that the trustee must act accordingly. It also states the name of the new owner, the terms of the transfer, and any other relevant information. There are two main types of Notice to Trustee of Assignment: Assignment of Deed of Trust and Release of Deed of Trust. An Assignment of Deed of Trust is used when the ownership of the deed of trust is transferred from one party to another, while a Release of Deed of Trust is used when the ownership of the deed of trust is terminated and the lender is no longer responsible for it.
