Distinguish between a lien theory jurisdiction and a title theory jurisdiction

What will be an ideal response?


In a title theory jurisdiction, also called an escrow jurisdiction, the lender or third party holds equitable title to the real estate in the name of the borrower under the terms of a Deed of Trust. The borrower is the owner but the Deed of Trust represents a claim against that ownership. In a lien theory state, the borrower holds title to the property and the lender places a lien on the property through the use of the mortgage document.
