FinancingDeed_of_trust_vs_mortgageMEDIUM

Maryland law recognizes both deeds of trust and mortgages as valid real estate security instruments. Which of the following statements about Maryland deeds of trust is NOT accurate?

Correct Answer

C) A deed of trust can only be foreclosed through a judicial court proceeding in Maryland

Option C is NOT accurate. In Maryland, a deed of trust can be foreclosed through a non-judicial trustee's sale — this is actually the primary advantage of using a deed of trust over a mortgage. The statement that it 'can only be foreclosed through a judicial court proceeding' is false; non-judicial foreclosure is available and is the most common method used for deed of trust defaults in Maryland.

Answer Options
A
A deed of trust involves three parties: the trustor, the trustee, and the beneficiary
B
The trustee holds legal title to the property during the loan repayment period
C
A deed of trust can only be foreclosed through a judicial court proceeding in Maryland
D
Upon full repayment of the loan, the trustee executes a deed of reconveyance to the borrower
