What's in a Minnesota Trustee's Deed?
Minnesota allows for two main types of trustees deeds: one between individuals, and one for use by business entities. The primary differences between the two forms are that the deed intended for businesses contains details about the corporate entity and the laws under which it was formed, and a corporate notary acknowledgement, while the form for individuals does not require that information. This article focuses on the trustee's deed for individuals.
A trustee's deed conveys title to real property held in a non-testamentary trust. The deed is named for the executing trustee, unlike other deed forms, which are named for the warranties of title they contain. Trustees are authorized to sell property under Minn. Stat. 501C.0816.
In a trust arrangement, the trustee holds legal title to property conveyed to the trust by the settlor, for the benefit of the trust's beneficiaries. A beneficiary is someone with a present or future interest in the trust (Minn. Stat. 501C. 0103). The settlor establishes the provisions of the trust, including the designation of a trustee and a trust beneficiary, in the trust instrument, which typically is not recorded.
In Minnesota, the trustee's deed is a modified quitclaim deed, containing the granting language "convey and quitclaim." A quitclaim deed merely grants "all right, title, and interest of the grantor in the premises described" to the grantee, and contains no warranty of title (Minn. Stat. 707.07).
The deed names the trustee and the trust on behalf of which the trustee is authorized to act. As with all other forms of conveyance, the deed requires the name, vesting information, and address of the grantee. In addition, the deed recites the full legal description of the premises conveyed, and indicates whether the deed is to be recorded in the abstract or Torrens system (the Office of the Recorder for the county in which the property is situated handles recording for both systems).
In a nutshell, the Torrens system is a system of recording whereby the state guarantees the title through a more rigorous certification process; conveyances submitted in the abstract system meeting basic recording requirements will be recorded, but the title is not guaranteed.
Finally, all conveyances in Minnesota need to contain the drafter's information, and an address to which property tax statements can be sent.
Minnesota statutes require an Electronic Certificate of Real Value (eCRV) to accompany deeds with a consideration of $1,000 or more (Min. Stat. 272.115). The certificate is submitted online through the Department of Revenue. For transfers requiring an eCRV, the electronic certificate number must be reflected on the first page of the documents. Considerations of $500 or less qualify for the minimum deed tax. Because the eCRV contains more specific information for a majority of documents, the consideration statement reflected on the face of the deed is typically generic.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 103I.235, sellers of real property must submit a well disclosure certificate, along with the $50 well disclosure certificate fee, before agreeing to a transfer. Subd. 1(c) of that statute explains that the certificate is unnecessary "if the seller does not know of any wells on the property" and includes a statement to that effect on the deed. A deed may also state that the status of wells on the property has not changed since the previously filed certificate. Finally, recite the electronic well disclosure certificate number if relevant to the property.
All acting trustees must sign the deed in the presence of a notary public or other authorized officer before submitting the deed for recording at the county level. A certificate of trust and/or affidavit of trustee may be required alongside the trustee's deed.
Each situation is unique, so contact an attorney with any questions about trustee's deeds, trusts, and directions relating specifically to your situation.

I found the process of downloading and completing the documents very user friendly. Thank you for the Declare Value instructions. It was easy to follow, though a sample of the declaration form would be very useful. I didn't know how to list my "capacity" so I left it blank so the recorder could advise me.rnOtherwise, thank you so much for being available for people who are capable of completing simple legal tasks without the expense of a lawyer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Your appreciative words mean the world to us. Thank you.

Very pleased. I spent a fair amount of time chasing a blank form only to be told it couldn't be given to me - I had to go through my attorney.
Going thru the deeds.com was a breeze; the blank form looked exactly like one I had filed before :-)
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

This would be a great form but I couldn’t tell what size the font was. Also, I didn’t know how to save it so I will have to type it all over again. I’m sure I did it incorrectly.
Your feedback is a crucial part of our dedication to ongoing improvement. Thank you for your insightful comments.

Not user friendly, and not an Adobe fan. The first page of Quitclaim Deed form cuts off the Parcel Identification line on the bottom. Also quite a few forms showed up to be downloaded , after I paid, so I was unsure if all the forms were part of the quitclaim package. I have adobe but was unable to locate the forms in adobe on my computer after I downloaded them. Just wanted to print out one quitclaim deed form, which would have taken less that 3 minutes. instead it took 97 minutes. Thank you, though, for having the form there.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
