Transfers. Covers all aspects of ownership or property title changes, for example if the current owners just want to change the way they hold title to the property. If the joint owners of real property change the title from "Smith and Doe, as tenants in common" to "Smith and Doe, as joint tenants," it's as much a transfer as if they sold the property to a third party.

Mortgages. Although the word "mortgage" is commonly used in California Real Estate law to describe the steps needed in making real property security for a loan. The document that is employed to do this is most often a "deed of trust." Basically, in California, a mortgage and a deed of trust amount to the same thing -- in both instances you give property as security for a loan -- but deeds of trust allow the mortgage loan lender a cheaper and quicker method of foreclosing upon default on the loan.
