Transferring Real Property from a Living Trust in Montana? Use a Trustee's Deed
In Montana, a trustee uses a trustee's deed to convey property held in a living trust. This trustee's deed is different from a trustee's deed to the purchaser at the trustee's sale.
A living trust is an estate planning tool that allows the trust maker to determine what happens to their assets upon death.
The living trust relationship involves three parties: the settlor (trust maker), who establishes the trust and funds it with assets (including real property); the trustee, who holds title to the property on behalf of the trust; and the beneficiary, who has a present or future interest in the property held in trust. The settlor is able to revoke a living trust up until his death, at which point the trust becomes irrevocable.
The trust is established by a trust instrument executed by the settlor. The instrument names the trustee -- whether an individual, multiple people, or a corporate trustee --, the beneficiaries, and the trust's terms or provisions. Because the trust cannot technically hold title, property transferred into it is titled in the name of the trustee on behalf of the trust.
The trustee's power to convey trust property is codified under the Montana Uniform Trust Code at 72-38-816(2). In Montana, the trustee's deed is a type of quitclaim deed, and so contains no warranties of title.
The deed names the acting trustee as the grantor, the trust's name and the date of the instrument establishing the trust, and, after recording, transfers title to the grantee. The document should meet all requirements of form and content for documents affecting real property in the state of Montana, including the legal description of the property being conveyed. The trustee must sign the deed in the presence of a notary public before recording.
If the recipient of a trustee's deed requests it, a trustee may also confirm his authority to enter into real property transactions by providing a recorded affidavit under Mont. Code Ann. 72-38-1111.
Contact an attorney with questions regarding living trusts and trustee's deeds in the State of Montana.

I think Deeds is a great site for learning. On recording a document, I had trouble. It was me, because I was new to the site.
Thank you!

I am a real estate attorney in CA. These Wyoming model deeds look too basic and barely adequate: no usual name and address at the top for tax statements and who recorded it. Some old fashioned legalese that only obfuscates. I won't use them. Your background info was good though.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I was a little nervous about doing this, but it was very simple. I was thrilled that I could use the sheet that helped me fill out the form. That made it easy. I did like that you knew what the charge was going to be in the beginning, not like the other websites.
Thank you, Sheryl. We know deed paperwork can feel intimidating at first, so we’re glad the guide helped make everything simple and clear. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience.

I would absolutely use this service again. It was very convenient and I was pleasantly surprised at how responsive the staff was letting me know updates to my recording package. Also, my documents recorded immediately. I did have trouble uploading my document in the beginning because I didn't realize it had to be a pdf file. Once I figured that out, it was immediately accepted. Great service!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Really solid system for determining what may prevent your documents from being accepted. I love the comments section allowing for fluid communication. I only wish there were automated emails for all those communications and once documents were accepted, but I did receive a couple personally-generated emails regarding the progress instructing me to check the site.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I was annoyed when I realized I couldn't put the document into Word or WordPerfect. I had to retype the entire document. What a waste of time and money.
Sorry to hear of your annoyance. We have canceled your order and payment. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

Extremely easy to use. The sample completed document was very helpful. I really appreciated not having to spend a few hundred dollars for a lawyer to generate a document that I can produce myself for a small fraction of the cost.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
