Annotations The 10-year statute of limitations governing foreclosure of mortgages or deeds of trust as mortgages, rather than the 5-year statute of limitations governing trust deed foreclosure in which a trustee exercises power of sale upon default, applied to a claim brought by a holder of a promissory note secured by a deed of trust on property seeking foreclosure of the deed of trust, because the claim was not for trustee foreclosure.
