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 Countyβ€”same-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.

πŸ“‹ What is a Nevada Deed of Trust?

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.

βœ… Step-by-Step Deed of Trust Notarization Process

  1. Lender or Title Company Prepares Deed of Trust
    Your mortgage lender or title company prepares the Deed of Trust using Nevada-approved language and includes your loan amount, property legal description, repayment terms, interest rate, trustee designation, and lender's rights. Review the document carefully with your loan officer or closing agent. Verify all information is correct including property address, loan amount, and your name spelling. Do not sign yet. The Deed of Trust must be signed in the notary's presence.
  2. Gather Required Documents for Closing
    Collect valid government-issued photo ID for all borrowers signing the Deed of Trust (both spouses if married, all co-borrowers). Have your loan disclosure documents, closing disclosure, property deed or purchase agreement, and any additional closing documents required by your lender. For refinances, have your current mortgage statement and property insurance information ready.
  3. Schedule Mobile Notary for Closing
    Book Lake Mead Mobile Notary through our online booking system or call (702) 748-7444. We provide mobile service at your home, office, title company, escrow office, or any convenient location throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, and Clark County. We coordinate timing with your lender and title company for smooth closing. Same-day appointments available for urgent closings.
  4. Meet Our Licensed Nevada Notary at Closing
    Our notary arrives at your specified location with all necessary equipment. We verify each borrower's identity using valid government-issued photo ID. The notary reviews the Deed of Trust with you, explaining the acknowledgment process. We confirm you understand the loan terms, are signing voluntarily without coercion, and agree to use the property as security for the loan. The notary answers any procedural questions about the signing process (but cannot provide legal advice about loan termsβ€”contact your attorney or loan officer for legal questions).
  5. Sign Before Notary with Acknowledgment
    The Deed of Trust requires acknowledgment notarization. Each borrower signs the Deed of Trust where indicated in the notary's presence. You acknowledge this is your voluntary act and deed. Our notary completes the acknowledgment certificate on each signature page, recording the date, location, type of ID presented, and confirmation that the borrower personally appeared and acknowledged the signature. The notary applies their official Nevada notarial seal with original wet-ink signature as required by Nevada recording statutes. If you're signing multiple loan documents (promissory note, closing disclosure, etc.), the notary completes all notarizations at the same appointment.
  6. Title Company Records Deed of Trust
    The title company or lender submits the notarized Deed of Trust to the Clark County Recorder's Office (or appropriate Nevada county recorder) for recording. The recorder stamps the Deed of Trust with the recording date, book and page number or document number. Once recorded, the lender's security interest in your property is officially established in the public record. The recorded Deed of Trust remains in effect until you pay off the loan in full, at which point the lender records a Deed of Reconveyance releasing their interest. Loan funds are released to the seller (for purchase) or to you (for refinance cash-out) after recording is confirmed.

πŸͺͺ Who Must Sign the Deed of Trust?

Borrower/Trustor (Property Owner):

The borrower (also called the trustor)β€”the person receiving the loan and owning the propertyβ€”must sign the Deed of Trust. All borrowers on the loan must sign. Each borrower must provide valid government-issued photo ID.

Married Borrowers:

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).

Single Borrower:

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).

Co-Borrowers (Multiple Borrowers):

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.

Lender/Beneficiary Does NOT Sign:

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.

Trustee Does NOT Sign:

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.
