The notice may be served by any person in the same manner that original notices are required to be served, such as personal service or certified mail. Id.

A better or more simplified explanation of what some of the more common titles would be used for would help. You list 6-8 types of Trusts alone. An example of doing a Grant Deed to move a property into, out of, or from a Trust to a Trust would have been helpful.
