A Wisconsin deed of trust is a legal agreement that secures a property owner’s obligation to a lender by transferring their title to a trustee until their debt is settled. This deed provides security for a loan transaction conveyed in a promissory note and states that the title will be returned to the owner upon the loan’s repayment. If the borrower defaults on their obligation, the trustee has the right to convey their property in a non-judicial foreclosure; that is, a more efficient sale of the property that occurs out of court.
