A Washington Deed of Trust (also known as a Trust Deed or Mortgage Deed) is a type of security instrument used in real estate transactions in the state of Washington. It is a legal document that creates a three-party arrangement between a borrower (trust or), a lender (beneficiary), and a trustee. The document outlines the terms and conditions of a loan, including the amount borrowed, the interest rate, and the repayment schedule. The Deed of Trust is then filed with the county recorder's office to create a lien on the property. There are two types of Washington Deed of Trust — a Statutory Deed of Trust and a Custom Deed of Trust. The Statutory Deed of Trust is a standard document that is provided by the state and has been pre-approved by the courts. The Custom Deed of Trust is created by the parties involved in the transaction, and outlines the specific terms of the loan. Both types of Deed of Trust are used to secure the repayment of a loan.
