Yes. The Nevada Deed of Trust requires notarization of the borrower's (trustor's) signature before it can be recorded with the County Recorder. A Deed of Trust is the primary security instrument used in Nevada real estate lending, creating a three-party agreement between the borrower (trustor), lender (beneficiary), and a neutral third-party trustee. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides professional mobile notarization services for Deeds of Trust throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, North Las Vegas, and all of Clark Countyβsame-day availability for closing deadlines.
Our licensed Nevada notaries travel to your home, office, title company, or any convenient location to properly execute your Deed of Trust with acknowledgment notarization and official Nevada seal. We work with homebuyers, borrowers refinancing, title companies, lenders, and real estate professionals to ensure recording-ready loan documents that meet County Recorder requirements and allow immediate closing of your real estate transaction.
The Nevada Deed of Trust is a security instrument that gives a lender a security interest in real property as collateral for a loan. Unlike a mortgage (which creates a two-party relationship between borrower and lender), a Deed of Trust creates a three-party relationship: the borrower (trustor) who owns the property, the lender (beneficiary) who provides the loan, and a neutral third-party trustee who holds legal title in trust until the loan is paid off.
When you purchase a home or refinance in Nevada, you sign a promissory note (your promise to repay the loan) and a Deed of Trust (which secures the property as collateral). The Deed of Trust contains the loan amount, property legal description, repayment terms, and the lender's rights if you default on the loan. If you fail to make payments, the trustee can initiate non-judicial foreclosure proceedings without going through court, making Nevada a "deed of trust state" rather than a "mortgage state."
Under Nevada law, all Deeds of Trust must be properly executed and notarized before recording with the county recorder. The borrower's signature requires acknowledgment notarization, where the borrower appears before a notary public, is identified, and acknowledges signing the deed voluntarily. The notary completes the acknowledgment certificate and applies their official Nevada notarial seal, making the Deed of Trust legally valid for recording and establishing the lender's secured interest in the property.
Lender or Title Company Prepares Document

The borrower (also called the trustor)βthe person receiving the loan and owning the propertyβmust sign the Deed of Trust. All borrowers on the loan must sign. Each borrower must provide valid government-issued photo ID.
If you're married and purchasing or refinancing property, both spouses typically must sign the Deed of Trust even if only one spouse is on the loan. Nevada community property laws require spousal consent when using marital property as loan collateral. Both spouses need valid photo ID and must appear before the notary (or sign at separate notary appointments).
If you're unmarried and the sole borrower, only you sign the Deed of Trust. You must provide valid government-issued photo ID (Nevada driver's license, passport, state ID card, or military ID).
If you have co-borrowers (unmarried individuals buying property together, business partners, family members), all co-borrowers must sign the Deed of Trust. Each co-borrower needs valid ID. Multiple borrowers can sign at the same appointment or at separate times/locations with different notaries if needed to accommodate schedules.
The lender (beneficiary) does NOT sign the Deed of Trust. Only the borrower's signature is notarized. The lender's name appears in the document as the beneficiary, but no lender signature is required.
The trustee (neutral third party holding legal title) also does NOT sign at closing. The trustee is appointed in the Deed of Trust but only acts if foreclosure proceedings are necessary. Most Nevada lenders use professional trustee companies that specialize in Deed of Trust administration.
