Questions answered? Let's get started!

A trustee's deed is a form of conveyance used in trust administration and named for the person executing the deed. A trustee, as the grantor, uses the deed to convey real property out of a trust and vest title in the name of the grantee.

Note: A trustee's deed is separate from a public trustee's deed, which is a form of conveyance used by a county-appointed public trustee to transfer foreclosed property under a deed of trust containing a power of sale.

Generally, a Colorado trustee's deed is a bargain and sale deed. A bargain and sale deed conveys all interest in real property a grantor has without warranties of title, and recites consideration, which is the entire monetary compensation the grantee has paid for the transfer. Some trustee's deeds contain special warranties, however. A special warranty deed warrants the title only for the duration of the grantor's ownership of the property, and may contain further limitations.

In order for a trustee to convey trust property pursuant to C.R.S. 38-30-108.5, a statement of authority must be on record certifying the trustee's authority to act on behalf of the trust.

The trustee's deed follows the format established under C.R.S. 38-30-113. In addition, it references the name and date of the trust on behalf of which the trustee is acting, as well as the trust's legal mailing address as specified in the statement of authority.

As with all documents affecting real property, the deed requires a legal description of the subject real property, including the commonly known address and assessor's parcel identification number. All acting trustees are required to sign the deed in the presence of a notary public. The deed is recorded in the same county in which the subject real property is situated.

Bottom line - it was certainly worth the $21 (+-?) I paid for the form and instructions, etc. Admittedly the form is a little inflexible in terms of editing for readability but I understand that offering greater flexibility would likely make theft more likely. So I'm happy with what I got. One suggestion - add more info about what's required in the "Source of Title" section.

re: Transfer Upon Death Deed For Valencia County, NM, why not have ONE button to download all necessary forms? Individual buttons are tedious.

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback David. The short answer is because not everyone needs all the forms. We will look into adding an option for downloading all the provided documents at once.

Your instructions and sample are geared towards businesses. It would have been helpful to have included some for us individuals as married couples as well. I also recall one or two spelling errors on the form that I could not fix, and the instructions seem to be for a prior form. This particular registry also required a stamped self-addressed envelope for return of documents. Hey, you asked! Overall, pleased.

This service is WONDERUL. I spent 14 years trying to get a deed recorded properly. Deeds.com kept submitting and resubmitting after corrections until it was finally accepted. They did in one day what I couldn't get done in 14 years!
