No. Nothing to cancel, no memberships, no recurring fees.

The majority of Texas foreclosures are non-judicial. They require a trustee's deed (alternately called a foreclosure deed or substitute trustee's deed, if applicable) to convey foreclosed property at a trustee's sale.

Trustee's deeds identify three primary parties: the grantor, who is the trustee in the deed of trust; the beneficiary, who is the lender and grantor in the deed of trust; and the buyer, who is the grantee and purchaser of the property at the foreclosure sale.

In a deed of trust, a trustee (the grantee under the original deed of trust instrument), appointed by the lender, holds the deed to the property as collateral for a loan to be repaid by the borrower (the trustor under the deed of trust). If the borrower fails to fulfill the terms of the deed of trust, the lender can direct the trustee to enforce the terms of the deed or begin the foreclosure process. This starts with a notice mailed to the borrower, now debtor, of the intent to accelerate. Notice of sale is also recorded and posted in the county where the subject property is located, as directed by Tex. Prop. Code 51.002 et seq.

A trustee's deed may sometimes be called a substitute trustee's deed, but it is functionally the same thing. The lender may appoint a substitute trustee if the original trustee is unable to administer the sale of property at public auction. A substitute trustee is a person named by the lender under the terms of the security instrument (deed of trust) to exercise the power of sale (Tex. Prop. Code 51.0001(7)). The power to appoint a substitute trustee must be expressly designated by the lender in the deed of trust, otherwise the appointment is invalid. A substitute trustee can be appointed at any time during the foreclosure process, so long as notice of the appointment is recorded. The foreclosing trustee, regardless, is generally an attorney for the lender. The trustee should identify in the deed whether they are serving as a trustee or substitute.

First, I am glad that you gave a blank copy, an example copy, and a 'guide'. It made it much easier to do. Overall I was very happy with your products and organization... however, things got pretty confusing and I have a pretty 'serious' law background in Real Estate and Civil law. With that said, I spent about 10+ hours getting my work done, using the Deed of Trust and Promissory note from you and there were a few problems: First, it would be FANTASTIC if you actually aligned your guide to actually match the Deed or Promissory Note. What I mean is that if the Deed says 'section (E)' then your guide shouldn't be 'randomly' numbered as 1,2,3, for advice/instructions, but should EXACTLY match 'section (E)'. Some places you have to 'hunt' for what you are looking for, and if you did it based on my suggestion, you wouldn't need to 'hunt' and it would avoid confusion. 2nd: This one really 'hurt'... you had something called the 'Deed of Trust Master Form' yet you had basically no information on what it was or how to use it. The only information you had was a small section at the top of the 'Short Form Deed of Trust Guide'. Holy Cow, was that 'section' super confusing. I still don't know if I did it correctly, but your guide says only put a return address on it and leave the rest of the 16 or so page Deed of Trust beneath it blank... and then include your 'Deed of Trust' (I had to assume the short form deed that I had just created) as part of it. I had to assume that I had to print off the entire 17 page or so title page and blank deed. I also had to assume that the promissory note was supposed to be EXHIBIT A or B on the Short Form Deed. It would be great if someone would take a serious look at that short section in your 'Short Form Deed of Trust Guide' and realize that those of us using your products are seriously turning this into a county clerk to file and that most of us, probably already have a property that has an existing Deed... or at least can find one in the county records if necessary... and make sure that you make a distinction between the Deed for the property that already exists, versus the Deed of Trust and Promissory note that we are trying to file. Thanks.

The Quitclaim deed form was fine. Unfortunately, all I wanted to accomplish was to transfer property held in my name into my trust, but I could not any wording on the information you provided on how to accomplish this. It was not a sale, just a transfer from me to me as trustee.
