FinancingDeeds_of_trust_as_primary_security_instrumentEASY

In Nevada real estate transactions, which instrument is used as the primary security device for a real property loan rather than a mortgage?

Correct Answer

B) A deed of trust, which involves three parties: trustor, trustee, and beneficiary

Nevada uses the deed of trust as its primary security instrument for real property loans, as established under NRS Chapter 107. A deed of trust involves three parties: the trustor (borrower), the trustee (a neutral third party who holds bare legal title), and the beneficiary (lender). This structure enables non-judicial foreclosure through a trustee's sale, which is faster and less expensive than judicial foreclosure.
