In a deed of trust, the borrower (trustor) conveys legal title to a trustee to hold in trust for the benefit of the lender (beneficiary), and the document includes a power of sale. This structure creates a security instrument that allows the lender to sell the property without court action if the borrower defaults. That matches the description given: the borrower grants and conveys to a trustee in trust, with power of sale, or the trustor is conveying the property to the trustee.

The other instruments don’t fit this scenario. A mortgage involves a lien on the property rather than transferring title to a trustee, and foreclosure is typically handled differently. A contract for deed keeps title with the seller until full payment is made, with the buyer gradually gaining equitable title, not a trustee holding title for the lender. “Subject to loan” refers to taking over a property while leaving the existing loan in the original borrower’s name, not a trustee arrangement securing the loan with power of sale.
