What are riders in a deed of trust?

Riders in a deed of trust refer to amendments that modify the original deed. These riders often include additional provisions or conditions that apply to the agreement between the borrower and the lender. They may address specific terms related to the loan or the trust and can clarify the rights and obligations of the parties involved.

For example, a common rider is a subordination agreement, which can dictate how the deed of trust relates to other claims against the property. Including these riders allows for more flexibility in managing the deed in accordance with the evolving circumstances surrounding the property or loan.

Other options, while important in real estate transactions, do not accurately describe what riders are. Legal descriptions of property boundaries provide details on the physical dimensions and location of the property but do not alter the underlying agreement. Methods to evaluate property value focus on assessing market conditions and property worth rather than changing legal terms. Title insurance endorsements modify the coverage provided by title insurance but are not part of a deed of trust itself.
