A Nebraska deed of trust gives a borrower’s real estate title to a trustee as security for an obligation owed to a lender. Also known as a “trust deed,” it lets the borrower live in the property while paying off their debt, after which their title is returned. If the borrower misses a payment, the trustee, using the “power of sale,” can foreclose without court involvement.
