A Deed of Trust is the most common instrument used to finance real property in Idaho. A Deed of Trust with a power of sale allows for a non-judicial foreclosure, saving time and expense for the lender. A Deed of Trust/Promissory Note that include stringent default terms can be beneficial to the lender. Use these forms for financing real property: vacant land, residential property, rental units, condominiums, small commercial and planned unit developments.
The promissory note is held by the lender and used for reconveyance once the deed of trust has been satisfied, it is considered to be severable and addresses past due dates, late charges, fees for additional days late, maturity dates, traditional finance and balloon payments, default rates, default terms and conditions, etc.

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.
Thanks for the kind words James, glad we could help. Look forward to seeing you again.

Wasn’t what I expected
Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

The Transfer on Death Deed form package was very good. But like anything, could use some improvements.
There is not enough space to fill more than one beneficiary with any level of additional detail like "as his sole and separate property"
The area for the legal description could be a bit bigger and potentially fit many legal descriptions. Or it could be made to simply say "See Exhibit A" as is likely necessary for most anyway.
The guide should indicate what "homestead property" means so the user doesn't have to research the legal definition. (which turns out to be obvious, at least in my state, if you live there, it's your homestead.)
It would be helpful if an "Affidavit of Death" form were included in the package for instances where the current deed hasn't been updated to reflect a widowed owner as the sole owner before recording with only the one signature.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
