Questions answered? Let's get started!
This fillable Alaska warranty deed conveys real property directly to the trustee of an identified trust, so the recorded title shows trustee ownership from the day of recording. One grantor conveys with the operative words of Alaska Statutes Section 34.15.030, and the full warranty covenants run to the trustee and the trustee's successors in trust.
A grantee section built for trust title
The deed's grantee section carries three entries instead of one: the trustee's name and mailing address, the trust's full name, and the date of the trust instrument. The operative section then knits the capacity into the conveyance itself, granting to the named grantee as trustee of the identified trust and stating that the grantee takes title as trustee and not individually. That is the wording pattern a later title examiner looks for when a chain of title passes through a revocable living trust or another private trust arrangement.
Alaska keeps this configuration simple. No Alaska statute requires the trust instrument to be attached to the deed, the beneficiaries to be named, or a certificate of trust to be recorded alongside it. When someone dealing with the trustee later asks for trust documentation, AS 13.36.079 lets the trustee furnish a certification of trust in place of the trust instrument, and the statute penalizes a bad-faith demand for the full document. The deed itself only needs what the recording statutes require of every Alaska conveyance, including the complete mailing address of the trustee as the acquiring party under AS 40.17.030(a)(8).
Two ownership patterns present this deed in the record: a purchase in which the buyer takes title in the name of an existing trust at closing, and a conveyance moving a home, cabin, or rental into a trust where the parties intend full covenant protection rather than a bare transfer. The form recites exactly one grantor and one trustee of one identified trust; co-trustee arrangements and entity grantors present different patterns than this deed recites.
Warranty covenants that survive the transfer into trust
Alaska law implies no covenants in a conveyance (AS 34.15.080), so warranty protection exists only where the deed carries it. A deed substantially in the AS 34.15.030 statutory form covenants that the grantor holds an indefeasible fee simple estate and has the power to convey, that the property is free from encumbrances except as the deed states, and that the grantor warrants quiet and peaceable possession and will defend the title. This form states those covenants at length, and its encumbrance section defines the exceptions, so the covenant reads exactly as wide as the deed says. Alaska's after-acquired-title statute, AS 34.15.075, adds that title the grantor later acquires passes to the grantee by operation of law under a warranty deed.
Recording in Alaska's district system
Alaska records deeds through a statewide recorder's office administered by the Department of Natural Resources, organized into 34 recording districts rather than county offices. The deed names its recording district on the face, reserves the statutory two-inch band at the top of the first page for the recorder's stamp, and carries the return-address block the recorder requires before accepting any document. Recording fees run 20 dollars for the first page and 5 dollars for each additional page, and Alaska collects no transfer tax and requires no transfer declaration with an ordinary deed. An unrecorded conveyance is valid between the parties, but under AS 40.17.080 it is void against a later innocent purchaser who records first, which is why the deed goes to the recorder promptly.
