In this form the current beneficiary/lender appoints a new trustee/successor trustee in place of the current trustee for a Trust Indenture/Deed of Trust.

71-1-306. Qualifications of trustee -- successor trustee.

(1) The trustee of a trust indenture under this part must be:
(a) an attorney who is licensed to practice law in Montana;
(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
(c) a title insurer or title insurance producer or agency authorized to do business in Montana under the laws of Montana.

(2) The beneficiary may appoint a successor trustee at any time by filing for record, in the office of the clerk and recorder of each county in which the trust property or some part of the trust property is situated, a substitution of trustee. 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 quoted $525 to do the exact same thing from Deeds.com for only $25. Seems like a no brainer to me!

Thank you for your services...Attny office quoted a very large fee for the "TOD DEED" process, so this is very helpful that I am able to take care of this myself. If I would have researched your link sooner, I could have saved my Dad a lot of money for the "SURVIVORSHIP DEED". Thanks again & have a wonderful day:)

It wasn't really what I needed I read and read and read and read and I thought I was to do with for filing for probate or probate executor but instead it was for the property if you are executor and but it wasn't very clear on that so it didn't work for me so I was kind of wasted money

Sorry to hear that Norman. We've gone ahead and canceled your order and payment.

I can't believe I haven't been using this service since inception. The only thing I would recommend is to allow us to delete an erroneous upload. I accidentally uploaded the same document twice but I saw no way for me to correct my mistake other than to send an email.
