Re: do i give a grant deed and then use a deed of trust?

I highly recommend using a licensed escrow service to prepare all documents and handle the closing and recording. There are big risks in not letting a third party hold the deed until the note and deed of trust are also delivered to the third party. Not to mention that the possibility of an error in documentation is greatly reduced.
