(1) The trustee of a trust indenture under this part must be:

(b) a bank, trust company, or savings and loan association authorized to do business in Montana under the laws of Montana or the United States; or

The substitution must identify the trust indenture by stating the names of the original parties to the trust indenture and the date of recordation and the book and page where the information is recorded, must state the name and mailing address of the new trustee, and must be executed and acknowledged by all of the beneficiaries designated in the trust indenture or their successors in interest. From the time the substitution is filed for record, the new trustee is vested with all the power, duties, authority, and title of the trustee named in the trust indenture and of any successor trustee.

I was able to download the TOD deed form with no issues and it showed immediately. I appreciate that there is a sample provided on how to complete the form. Once downloaded this form is yours and can be changed ,if you make an error. This form is not complicated and is recognized by the County Court House where I filed the document. I am very pleased this form is available to process on my own and the fee is very reasonable. TY.
Thank you, Mary Lou. We are glad the transfer on death deed downloaded smoothly and that the completed sample made the process clear. It is great to hear your county recorded it without any trouble. We built these forms so property owners can handle the filing themselves with confidence, and at a fair one-time price. Thank you for choosing Deeds.com.
