Questions answered? Let's get started!
An affidavit of trustee contains sworn statements made by a trustee and relating to a specific transaction involving real property contained by the trust. The affidavit of trustee for a testamentary trust is codified at Minn. Stat. 501C.1014, Subd. 2.
A testamentary trust is a trust created by a will that takes effect upon the death of a testator. The affidavit of trustee for a testamentary trust, then, references the name of the trust and the date of the will under which it was created, as well as the decedent's name and date of death. It also references the instrument granting the trusteeship, including the date and place of recording.
The affidavit must contain a full legal description of the property subject to the transaction for which the affidavit is presented. It references the trustee and other party involved in the transaction and offers proof that the required number of trustees are entering the transaction and that the trustees are authorized under the decedent's will to act on the title to the real property held in the trust, and that there are no trust amendments that limit the power of the trustees.
The affiant confirms that the trust has not terminated and that the trust instrument has not been revoked, or that, if the trust has terminated, the transaction involving the real property is made pursuant to the provisions of the trust. If the trust is under court supervision, the affidavit provides the name and location of the court.
The affidavit of trustee must be signed by an acting trustee in the presence of a notary public and may be recorded separately or as an attachment to a certificate of trust under Minn. Stat. 501C.1013. Submit the instrument for recording with the county recorder, or registrar of titles in the case of registered land, in the county in which the real property described in the affidavit is situated.
Consult a lawyer with questions regarding affidavits of trustee or Minnesota trust law in general, as each situation is unique and trust law can quickly become complex.

Amazing service. Immediate responses at all hours of the day and prevent late in the evening! Patient and friendly. I will say that Adobe scan did not work well for me. Notes app for IOS has a scan feature and that seemed to work best.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I can't recommend working with Deeds.com enough. I had been given incorrect information from another document service. The helpful staff member at Deeds.com that assisted in the submission of the recording was exceptionally helpful in making sure what I was submitting included the necessary elements required by the county. I am very thankful I chose Deeds.com for my eRecording service. Thank you!!
Thank you, Linda! We’re so glad our team could assist in making sure your submission met the county’s requirements. It means a lot that you chose Deeds.com after a frustrating experience elsewhere. We appreciate your trust and kind words!

This service is excellent. I submitted a Quickclaim Deed so my home would be in the name of a Living Trust I had just created. This was my first attempted at any of this and the staff person, KVH, who reviewed my Deed was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had and to make sure the Deed had the correct information before submittal to the county for recording. I started the process one afternoon and by the next day, the Deed was submitted to, and recorded in, my county. I will use them again whenever needed.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
