Introduction to Mortgage or Deed of Trust
One of our constitutional rights is the right to own, posses, and protect Property. The right to property or the ownership of property is evidenced by three things: 1) The Title, 2) The Right to Title, and 3) Possession. So basically, there are three aspects of ownership that create title.
Let’s look at the Title first. Title is a piece of paper that recites certain actions and agreements that states who has the “legal” right to the property. This Title is a document know generally as a “Deed”. There are all kinds of deeds, but it is the “Deed” that shows “prima facia” the owner of the property.
