California Substitution of Trustee and Full Reconveyance
Sometimes the original trustee on a deed of trust is unable or unwilling to perform his/her responsibilities. In that case, the beneficiary/lender uses this form to authorize a substitute trustee, who, by recording it, will release the lien and convey the land with a clear title.
California Code, Civil Code - CIV 2941
(2) If the trustee has failed to execute and record, or cause to be recorded, the full reconveyance within 60 calendar days of satisfaction of the obligation, the beneficiary, upon receipt of a written request by the trustor or trustor's heirs, successor in interest, agent, or assignee, shall execute and acknowledge a document pursuant to Section 2934a substituting itself or another as trustee and issue a full reconveyance.
(California Reconveyance Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)

World class forms, great for someone like me that has no clue what I'm doing! Always better to let the pros do it than think one knows it all and gets themselves in trouble!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I bought a Quitclaim Deed package for Fayette County, Kentucky, to transfer my house into a Living Trust that I had set up previously. Creating my Quitclaim Deed was pretty straightforward, using the form, the instructions, and the sample Quitclaim Deed. I signed my Quitclaim Deed at a nearby Notary Public, then took it to the Fayette County Clerk's office to be recorded. The clerk there asked me to make two small changes to the Quitclaim Deed, which she let me do in pen on the spot:
* In the signature block for the receiver of the property, filled in "Capacity" as "Grantee as Trustee ______________________________ Living Trust".
* In the notary's section, changed "were acknowledged before me" to "were acknowledged and sworn to before me".
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I saved a ton of money doing it on my own versus through legal counsel. When I took it to the auditor/recorder today, there was absolutely no problems.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I was unable to finish what I started due to computer crash. I'll get back soon. I paid off my mortgage last year in November. I need to see what to do to get the deed to my property.
Thank you!

I just completed my first deed filing and I’m very happy with the experience. The deeds staff was extremely supportive and helpful in guiding me through the learning curve of being my first filing without legal assistance. They saved me a ton in legal fees.
Thank you for the kind words Jayar. Glad we were able to help.

The website and information is fine. The proof in the pudding, of course, is whether the forms I used now will provide the results I want if the changes are challenged at some future date.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
