A BILL to amend and reenact §38-1-2 the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to filing a memorandum of deed of trust in lieu of a deed of trust.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:

A trust deed to secure debts or indemnify sureties may be in the following form or to the same effect: "This deed made the .......... day of ................, in the year ........, between .............................. (the grantor) of the one part, and .............................. (the trustee) of the other part, witnesseth: That the said ................... (the grantor) doth (or do) grant unto the said ....................... (the trustee) the following property (here describe it). In trust to secure (here describe the debts to be secured or the sureties to be indemnified, and insert covenants, or any other provisions the parties may agree upon). Witness the following signature."
In lieu of the recording of a deed of trust, there may be recorded with like effect a memorandum of such deed of trust, executed by all persons who are grantors under the deed of trust and acknowledged in the manner to entitle a conveyance to be recorded. A memorandum of deed of trust recorded shall contain at least the following information with respect to the deed of trust: The name and the address of each grantor, the name and the address of each trustee and the name and the address of each beneficiary as set forth in the deed of trust; A reference to the indebtedness secured by the deed of trust including the amount of the indebtedness and the date the indebtedness was incurred or if the indebtedness is evidenced by a note or contract, the date the instrument was executed; the date of execution of the deed of trust if different than the date the evidence of indebtedness was executed; a description of the real estate against which a lien is claimed to secure the indebtedness; and the date on which the indebtedness is due; and a summary of the applicable notice and publication requirements in the event of default. The memorandum constitutes notice of only the information contained therein, but it is, as against creditors and purchasers, valid as if the complete deed of trust were recorded on the date the memorandum is admitted to record.



NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to provide for recording memorandums of deeds of trust.
