Include this form with real property transactions involving an Alaska trust.
Under AS 13.36.079, a trustee may provide a certification of trust to confirm his/her authority to act on behalf of an established trust agreement. The certification stands in for the full document, thereby preserving the confidentiality of the beneficiaries, as well as other facts unrelated to the immediate transaction.
A lawful certification of trust must include the following information:
The trust exists and the date the trust instrument was executed; the settlor's identity; the currently acting trustee's identity and address; the trustee's powers; whether it is revocable or irrevocable, and identify anyone holding a power to revoke the trust; requirements about co-trustees, if any; the trust's taxpayer identification number, if any; and the manner of taking title to the property of the trust (13.36.079 (a)(1-8)). It may also contain other details as necessary.
The certification of trust includes a statement that the trust has not been revoked, modified, or amended in a manner that would cause the representations contained in the certification of trust to be incorrect (c). The recipient of a certification of trust may ask the trustee to furnish copies of the excerpts from the original trust instrument, including amendments that designate the trustee and confer the power to act in the transaction which requires the certification of trust (e).
This offers protection to those who, in good faith, enter into a transaction based on reasonable reliance on a certification of trust. If the trustee misrepresents the facts, the other party may enforce the transaction against the trust property as if the representations contained in the certification were correct (g).
Each situation is unique, so contact an attorney with specific questions and for complex circumstances.

I had a great experience using Deeds.com to file my legal document. The whole process was simple and easy to follow. The website walks you through each step, and everything is explained clearly. At one point, I had to resubmit my documents, but even that was quick and easy. There were clear instructions, and I had no trouble making the changes and sending them again. The communication was great too. I was kept updated the whole time, and any questions I had were answered fast. If you need to file legal documents and want a stress-free way to do it, I definitely recommend Deeds.com. They made the whole process smooth from start to finish.
Thank you, Liliana! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're glad everything went smoothly and that our team could support you when needed. It means a lot to know you'd recommend us!

easy to use, no problems except in beneficiary box. Need to make the box bigger because I have 4 beneficiaries to list. how do I enlarge the box.
Thanks for reaching out. All available space on the document is being used. As is noted in the guide, if you have information that does not fit in the available space the included exhibit page should be used.

I was very happy with the document package that I purchased. It contained all of the necessary documents and a few extras I had not thought about. Perhaps if you provided a link to download all of the documents with one click, it would make it a little easier.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This site was recommended to me. The deed worked just fine for recording a property transfer (Warranty Deed). What I like is that there is a 1 time fee, not a subscription. I would highly recommend. It saved us $2000 in closing costs and fees.
Thank you!

Although I am sure that the Quit Claim form was acceptable for my county, I felt that it was not formatted in the manor that I have seen while viewing the other deeds recorded. So that forms that I received were not useful to me.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
