In a nonjudicial foreclosure state, a trustee mails statutory notice, advertises the sale, and auctions the property under a power-of-sale provision after borrower default. Which security instrument is the trustee most likely enforcing?

Correct Answer

B) A deed of trust containing a power of sale

A deed of trust commonly authorizes a trustee to conduct a sale under a power-of-sale provision, which is why it is frequently used in nonjudicial foreclosure systems. The trustee is acting under the deed of trust rather than under the seller's deed or a consumer disclosure form.

Answer Options
A
A warranty deed used to convey title at closing
B
A deed of trust containing a power of sale
C
A mortgage requiring no collateral document
D
A promissory note used to evidence the debt
