Getting around the need for a bond . .In Reply to: posted by Alfred, Trainee on March 06, 2002 at 4:16 AM
: Ward, =========== Alfred, one workaround for a lost promissory note is to buy a bond that will insure the buyer that if someone else shows up with the original and claims ownership of it that the bond will hold you harmless from any liability in the matter. Well, the problem with such bonds is that they are quite expensive, and they take quite a while to secure. So a much simpler solution is to have the owner of the lost note create an affidavit with an appended copy of the note, attesting to the fact that the original was irretrievably lost. The next step is to fill out a Substitution of Trustee form and record it, making the new owner of the note the successor trustee of the companion deed of trust. Thus when the note is paid off the current owner is also the trustee and so doesnt have to require the original as a perquisite to issuing the Reconveyance.
