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.

I got the right form but I waited too long to use it and Oregon changed the formatting. I should have checked and made sure the form was still good. Deeds responded quickly.

Process was easy. The instructions for TOD and a sample completed form was very helpful. E-recording of deed saved a trip to the county building and well worth the very reasonable charge.

Came with all the paperwork that I needed plus a lot more paperwork than what I needed. Covered all the bases! The instructions were a big help. Easy fill in the blanks. Had no problem filing the paperwork afterword at the County Clerks office. Definitely worth the $20.
