Process for seller financing?

[Baptiste P.]

Hello,

I'm looking to understand the process for a seller financing transaction with the owner that is a relative.

My understanding is that a Real Estate Attorney would draft a sales contract and a promissory note, and the title company would do the deed of trust. Is this correct?

I was talking to an attorney today that told me that the title company would be the one doing the promissory note so I'm a bit confused, would love to get a bit more clarification on the actors involved and who does what.

I'm in CA

Thanks a lot in advance
