Arizona Rev. Stat. 14-11013 outlines the requirements for a certification of trust in the State of Arizona.

A certificate of trust is used to disclose information about a trust to a person who is not a beneficiary of said trust. This document, an abbreviated version of the original trust, verifies the existence of the trust and the trustee's authority to act on behalf of the trust. It provides the necessary information about the trust while leaving out non-essential personal information.

The trustee is held liable for information presented as fact in the document.

Contact a lawyer with any questions that may arise when preparing a certificate of trust.

Forms easy to download but experienced problems trying to type in my information into the forms. Then when I went to print a form, Adobe wanted to charge me for printing. I ended up printing the blank forms and then filling them out manually.

Your website advertising was somewhat deceptive regarding doing a quitclaim on a name change. "If you are transferring the property to yourself under your new name, all you have to do is update the deed from your former name to your current one." This made this sound easy. But when I downloaded the material for my state, expecting to find an example, there was no example of how to do a name change quitclaim deed! I therefore had to figure this out myself. You might have provided a warning about certain uses that were not covered in the material so that people know ahead of time that the use they needed to know about wasn't covered in the material.

The actual transfer of deed form seems to be the only one not fillable in Adobe. Seems odd.

Extremely easy to use. The sample completed document was very helpful. I really appreciated not having to spend a few hundred dollars for a lawyer to generate a document that I can produce myself for a small fraction of the cost.

There is not enough room on the form to describe my property which was taken directly from the previous deed. Other than that worked as expected.
