A

Mortgages only

Mortgages are not used as the primary security instrument in Nevada. While they exist in some contexts, Nevada law specifically requires deeds of trust for real estate financing.

B

Deeds of trust

Correct Answer
C

Both equally

Nevada does not use both instruments equally. State law specifically mandates deeds of trust as the primary security instrument.

D

Land contracts only

Land contracts are not security instruments at all; they are a form of seller financing. Nevada does not use them as security instruments.

Why is this correct?

Nevada law specifically requires the use of deeds of trust as the security instrument for real estate loans. This is a state-specific regulation that agents must understand to properly structure transactions and advise clients.
