Promissory Notes
A promissory note is a written promise to pay a specified sum of money. In real estate, the borrower (maker) signs a note promising to repay the lender (payee). The note is the personal obligation; the trust deed (or mortgage) is the security for the note. The note and trust deed are separate documents but work together.
