Xerostomia is the subjective feeling of oral dryness, which is often (but not always) associated with hypofunction of the salivary glands. The term is derived from the Greek words Î¾Î·ÏÏÏ (xeros) meaning dry and ÏÏÏÎ¼Î± (stoma) meaning mouth.
Security Deed. A security deed is a conveyance of land to secure a debt. A security deed, as opposed to a mere mortgage, passes legal title to the land while reserving unto the debtor the equitable title to use and enjoy the conveyed land subject to compliance with debt obligations. Security deeds must be recorded in the county where the land is located. Although there is no specific time within which such deeds must be filed, the failure to timely record the deed to secure debt may affect priority and therefore the ability to enforce the debt against the subject property.
Secured Debt. For a debt instrument to be secured simply means that in the event of loan default the purchaser's assets are used to repay the lender's investment. Common types of secured debt are mortgages and auto loans. When an individual or business takes out a mortgage, the property in question is used to back the repayment guarantee. If the individual or business fails to repay the mortgage as agreed, the bank has the right to seize the property.
