Cash for your Trust Deed Note

If you are the owner of a note secured by Deed of Trust (also known as a Trust Deed or Mortgage Note) on California Real Estate and are entitled to receive payments, you can usually turn it into cash.

This is possible whether the payor (borrower) is living or deceased or if the note owner is deceased and their estate is in probate or in a trust.

The most common situations that we encounter are that:

  • Loan was made to a friend or other family member and no one wants to be the “bad guy”
  • Loan was created from the sale of a property formerly owned by the deceased person
  • Person paying on the note is deceased and the note holder is uncertain as to how to proceed to collect or if a probate has even been opened

Even if you are supposed to be on the receiving end and no action has been taken yet we can help you turn it into spendable money.

Several Reasons to sell your mortgage Note:

  • Need cash to close probate
  • Provide liquidity (spendable money)
  • Heirs or beneficiaries can’t agree
  • Property has problems or lost value (or declining neighborhood)
  • Senior mortgage or taxes are delinquent
  • Payor is a family member or friend
  • Payor(s) has stopped paying or gone silent

Who can sell Note if Original Note holder is deceased?

  • Administrators (Will or No Will)
  • Executors of estates
  • Special Administrators
  • Trustees & Co-Trustees
  • Conservators & Guardians
  • Private Fiduciaries & Public Administrators
  • An heir for which the note is the sole asset of the decedent
  • Any other adult note owner

What’s my Note worth?
Since no two notes are exactly the same due to different borrower payment histories, repayment terms of your note, the market value of collateral property and documentation

The value of a given note is established by a number of factors, including: loan position (i.e., 1st, 2nd, etc.), current market interest rates, the type and location of the property, condition of the improvements, structure of the note and mortgage, credit of the payor, priority position, interest rates, and much more.

It’s because of this that no two notes are likely to have exactly the same value. Also, there are at least several different ways to sell your note:

Full Purchase: Seller receives lump sum cash for all remaining monthly payments (and balloon payment if applicable). This option provides the largest amount of cash, takes the seller out of the note completely, removes the hassle of collecting future payments, and transfers any risk of foreclosure to the buyer.

Partial Purchase: Seller receives lump sum cash at closing for a portion of future monthly payments. Seller resumes collecting the remainder of monthly payments in the future.

Partial Balloon Purchase: (for balloon notes only). Seller receives lump sum cash at closing for all remaining monthly payments and a portion of the balloon amount. Seller gets the remainder of the balloon when received from payer.
