Questions answered? Let's get started!
There are many reasons why a Substitute Trustee is needed, some include: original trustee is no longer available or can't act, the lender wants to change the trustee, property needs to foreclosed on and a different trustee is required, etc. This form is used by the current beneficiary/lender to appoint a new trustee for a Deed of Trust.
Arkansas Statutes State:
(b)(1) The beneficiary may appoint a successor trustee at any time by filing a substitution of trustee for record with the recorder of the county in which the trust property is situated.
(2) The new trustee shall succeed to all the power, duties, authority, and title of the original trustee and any previous successor trustee.
(3) The beneficiary may, by express provision in the substitution of a trustee, ratify and confirm actions taken on its behalf by the new trustee prior to the recording of the substitution of the trustee. Ark Statute 18-50-102(b)
(c) The substitution shall identify the deed of trust by stating the names of the original parties thereto, the date of recordation, and the book and page where recorded or the recorder's document number. The substitution shall also state the name of the new trustee and shall be executed and duly acknowledged by all the beneficiaries or their successors in interest.

I wanted to do an Enhancement Life Quitclaim deed and the county government lady didn’t know what I was even talking about. I ordered the deed from Deeds.com and filled it all in,submitted to the county clerk who took 10 minutes to study it before she accepted the deed. This was the easiest transaction I’ve ever made! I actually felt smarter than the clerk who worked at the count office over 20 years.
Thank you, Linda! We’re glad the process went smoothly and that our forms helped you complete your recording with confidence. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

Beware, you cannot save the information you typed and change it later. It will be a PDF upon saving. So if you need corrections...you have to start all over!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Forms seem direct, simple, not what a "big firm" might have, appear sufficient to do the job -- safety in following at least the basics
Thank you!
