What a Nevada deed of trust and promissory note do
A private real-estate loan in Nevada is documented with two paired papers. The promissory note is the borrower’s written promise to repay: the amount, the interest rate, the payment schedule, the maturity date and what happens on default. The deed of trust pledges the property as security for that promise and is the document recorded with the county recorder.
Nevada is a deed-of-trust state. A deed of trust names three parties — the borrower (trustor), the lender (beneficiary) and a neutral trustee — and once it is recorded, the lender’s lien is on the public record. A deed of trust does not transfer ownership, so as of 2026 no Nevada Real Property Transfer Tax and no Declaration of Value apply to it.
TruPoint prepares both documents together for $400, arranges notarization by remote online notary at $25 per signature, and submits the deed of trust to the county the same day it is signed. A typical loan costs about $525 all in, in any of Nevada’s 17 recording jurisdictions.
The money moves this week. The lien should too.
Private loans usually come with a funding date attached. Tell us the date at intake and we build the schedule around it.
- Drafting starts the same business day your signed contract and payment arrive
- Remote online notarization scheduled for the borrower, from anywhere in the U.S.
- Deed of trust submitted to the county the same day it is signed
- County typically completes recording the same day to 3 business days
Six situations a Nevada deed of trust is built for
If one of these sounds like you, the next step is the same: tell us the terms, and we prepare the documents and record the lien.
Private and hard-money lenders
You are putting your own money out against a Las Vegas, Henderson or Reno property and want the lien recorded before or as the loan funds.
Note + deed of trust, $400Family and friend loans
You are helping a relative buy, keep or fix a home and want a real note and a recorded lien instead of a handshake.
Note + deed of trust, $400Seller financing
You are selling and carrying the loan yourself, so you need the deed to the buyer and a note and deed of trust back to you.
Sale deed $400 + loan documents $400Money already lent, nothing signed
The loan happened months ago on trust. The borrower agrees to secure it now, before anyone else records against the property.
Note + deed of trust, $400Investors lending on a flip
You are financing a rehab or a purchase for another investor and want your position on record before work starts.
Note + deed of trust, $400Borrower out of state or abroad
The borrower is not in Nevada. In the U.S. they sign by video; abroad, at a U.S. embassy or consulate.
Remote notary, $25 per signatureThe note promises. The deed of trust secures.
A promissory note on its own is close to an IOU. If the borrower stops paying, a bare note means suing on the debt and then chasing assets. Pairing it with a recorded deed of trust ties the debt to the property, so the lien is visible to every title company, buyer and refinance lender that searches the record.
We draft the two documents together from the terms you give us, so the amount, the parties and the dates match word for word. You decide the terms; we prepare exactly what you direct.
What the promissory note covers
- Loan amount and interest rate
- Payment schedule and maturity date
- Late charge and any balloon payment
- What counts as a default
- Whether the loan is due if the property sells
- Prepayment terms, if any
Signed by the borrower and kept by the lender. It is not recorded.
What the deed of trust covers
- Borrower (trustor), lender (beneficiary) and trustee
- Legal description and assessor’s parcel number
- Reference to the promissory note it secures
- The trustee’s power of sale on default
- Notarized signature of every owner pledging the property
- Return-to address for the recorded original
Notarized and recorded with the county recorder where the property sits.
A loan without a recorded lien is a loan on trust
Four common ways a private lender loses their place in line. Each one is avoided by a deed of trust that is prepared correctly and recorded promptly.
Someone else records first
Liens generally line up in the order they are recorded. A judgment, a tax lien or another lender that records before you can move ahead of an unrecorded loan.
The property sells and you are not paid
Title companies pay off the liens they find in the record. An unrecorded loan is invisible at closing, so the sale can close without a payoff to you.
The borrower dies or divorces
A recorded deed of trust stays attached to the property through an estate or a divorce. An unrecorded promise becomes a claim you have to prove.
The paperwork does not match
A wrong legal description, a missing owner signature or a note that conflicts with the deed of trust can mean a rejected recording or a dispute later.
What it costs — every dollar published
- Promissory note + deed of trust, prepared together$400
- Same-day electronic recording of the deed of trust$50
- County recording fee (estimated, varies by county)about $50
- Remote online notarization, any county or out of state$25 per signature
- In person at our partner’s office (South Las Vegas residents)$15 first, $7.50 each additional
- Deed search, only if we need the borrower’s recorded deed$30
Typical all-in total for one borrower signing once online: about $525. A deed of trust does not transfer ownership, so no Real Property Transfer Tax and no Declaration of Value apply. The county fee is passed through at cost and shown on your payment link before you pay.
Start My Loan DocumentsTruPoint, a Nevada attorney or an online form
Three common ways people get loan documents in place. If you need advice on the terms themselves, an attorney is the right call; if you know your terms and want them prepared and recorded correctly, that is what we do.
| What you get | TruPoint | Nevada attorney | Online form |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $400 for both documents, published | Quoted per matter; rarely published | Form price only; the work is yours |
| Note and deed of trust matched | Drafted together from your terms | Yes | You fill in both and check they agree |
| Advice on loan terms | No — we prepare what you direct | Yes | No |
| Notarization | Remote online notary scheduled for you, $25 per signature | Varies by firm | You find and pay a notary |
| Recording with the county | E-recorded by us, submitted the same day it is signed | Varies by firm | You record it yourself |
| If the county rejects it | We correct and resubmit | The firm handles it | You start over |
| Languages | English and Vietnamese | Varies by firm | English forms |
Attorney and form columns describe common arrangements; fees and services vary by provider.
From intake to a recorded lien, start to finish
Everything runs remotely. The borrower never has to visit an office, and nothing has to be mailed.
Complete intake
Tell us the loan terms, the parties and the property in the loan-document questionnaire. Prefer to talk it through? We fill it in with you free by phone or video, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., in English or Vietnamese.
Disclosure, contract, one payment link
We review your answers and email if anything needs clarifying. Then you receive the written disclosure, the contract and a single payment link covering TruPoint’s fees and the county fee, with no markup. Drafting starts once they are signed and paid.
We prepare both documents
The promissory note and the deed of trust are drafted together in Nevada form, with the exact legal description and parcel number from the recorded deed. You review the drafts before anyone signs.
The borrower signs by video
We schedule a remote online notarization with our partner, a registered Nevada online notary, at $25 per signature. The notary hands the notarized original straight back to us — you send nothing. South Las Vegas residents can sign in person at our partner’s office.
Same-day submission to the county
We e-record the deed of trust the same day it is signed. The county typically completes recording the same day to 3 business days; that part is the county’s timing, not ours.
You receive the recorded copy
The recorded deed of trust comes back to you with its recording number, and the lender keeps the signed promissory note.
