Yes, Massachusetts is a Title Theory state. In Title Theory states, the lender holds the legal title to the property until the mortgage is paid off, while the borrower retains equitable title.

However, Massachusetts has specific laws and procedures governing the foreclosure process that must be followed.

Nevada is a lien theory state. In "title theory" states, actual "legal title" to the property temporarily passes to a trustee to secure the debt. The borrower (grantor), retains possession rights and "equitable title" and has full use of the property for the mortgage term. When the loan is paid off, legal title is restored without the necessity of a reconveyance. In "lien theory" states, the lender (mortgagee) places a "lien" on the mortgaged real property while the borrower retains both "equitable" and "legal" title.
