In Tennessee, a trustee's deed is most commonly used in which of the following situations?

Correct Answer

D) When a trustee conveys property following a non-judicial foreclosure sale under a deed of trust

In Tennessee, most residential mortgages are secured by deeds of trust rather than traditional mortgages. When a borrower defaults and the lender proceeds with non-judicial (power of sale) foreclosure under Tenn. Code Ann. § 35-5-101, the trustee named in the deed of trust conducts the sale and conveys the property to the purchaser using a trustee's deed. This is the most common use of trustee's deeds in Tennessee real estate practice.
