Nebraska Deed of Trust Form

A Nebraska deed of trust gives the title of a borrower’s real estate to a trustee as security for a home loan from a lender. Also known as a “trust deed,” it lets the borrower live on the property until the loan is paid off, after which the title will be returned to them. If the borrower misses a payment, the trustee, using the “power of sale,” can foreclose without court involvement.
