What security instrument is primarily used in Idaho real estate transactions to secure a loan?

Correct Answer

B) A deed of trust, which conveys title to a neutral third-party trustee

Idaho is primarily a deed-of-trust state. In a deed of trust, the borrower (trustor) conveys title to a neutral third-party trustee to hold on behalf of the lender (beneficiary) until the loan is repaid. While mortgages are legally permissible in Idaho, deeds of trust are predominant in practice because they allow for a faster non-judicial foreclosure process under Idaho Code § 45-1505.

Answer Options
A
A mortgage, which gives the lender a lien on the property
B
A deed of trust, which conveys title to a neutral third-party trustee
C
A land contract, which retains title with the seller until payoff
D
A security deed, which transfers title directly to the lender
