An Oklahoma deed of trust designates a trustee to retain a borrower’s real estate title until a loan has been repaid to a lender. The deed serves as a guarantee of repayment; if a breach or loan default occurs, the trustee can seize the property to recoup their investment. Since the deed grants “power of sale” rights, the lender is authorized to foreclose the property non-judicially (i.e., without a court order), which costs less and is quicker than the judicial process commonly applied under a mortgage.
