Questions answered? Let's get started!

A trust is an arrangement created when one person (the settlor) conveys property to a second person (the trustee) for the benefit of a third (the beneficiary). The settlor executes a trust instrument to establish the terms of the trust, and funds the trust with assets. In Nebraska, express trusts, or trusts "created with the settlor's express intent, usually declared in writing," according to Black's Law Dictionary, 8th ed., are governed by the Uniform Trust Code, codified at Neb. Rev. Stat. Ann. 30-3801.

A non-testamentary trust, more commonly referred to as a living trust or an inter vivos trust, is used for estate planning purposes; it allows a settlor to plan for his assets, including real property interests, in the event of death. A settlor may appoint himself as the trustee and designate a successor trustee (the settlor may not be the sole beneficiary, however).

Specific powers confirmed upon the trustee under 30-3881 include the power to sell trust property. In Nebraska, the trustee's deed is used to convey real property from a living trust. As the administrator of the trust and because the trustee holds legal title to the property, it is the trustee's job to execute the trustee's deed. The deed should reference the trustee's name, as well as the name and date of the trust on behalf of which the trustee is acting. Additional documentation, such as a certificate of trust, may be required from the trustee.

The trustee's deed must meet all requirements for form and content for instruments affecting real property in Nebraska, including the name and vesting information of the grantee and a legal description of the property being transferred.

The covenants contained within the Nebraska trustee's deed make it a special warranty deed. The language of the form contains a covenant of seisin and a covenant against encumbrances (unless otherwise named in the form of conveyance), while warranting that the grantor defends the title against any claims arising by or through the grantor.

Each acting trustee's signature is required and must be acknowledged before the deed is recorded with the register of deeds in the Nebraska county where the property is located. Nebraska requires the grantee to complete a real estate transfer statement (available through the Department of Revenue as Form 521) for all transfers of real property. Contact the county's register of deeds to see if any additional supporting documentation is necessary, as each situation is unique.

Consult a lawyer with any questions regarding trust law and trustee's deeds in Nebraska.

I had no issues downloading the template. The price was reasonable and the document was compliant with the law for Alabama Mechanics Liens, which saved me some time and effort. Nice aide. Thanks!

Awesome site!! You guys really make it simple to understand and access any Deeds that I need. I know you keep very up to date forms, as my county is hard core when it comes to the smallest of details, even compared to every other county across the state. Yet you made it simple and quick, and I never had to redo anything. Even the clerk was impressed that I had it filled out correctly the first time, as that usually never happened. Even the size of type/font and the margins were perfect. That saved a lot of time, money and most of all, frustration. I've recommended you to relatives, friends and co-workers. Thanks to the staff at deeds dot com !! I truly appreciate you. j

Fonts for all fields are not the same. Collin County has a specified size it wants in all fields. Other than that every thing was fine.

The deed is presently at the auditors office and will be recorded after approval from zoning board. As far as I know, everything is going along well. A self addressed envelope was left at recorder's office for return after recording is complete.

We have been waiting for a Title Company to put a release of Lien together for the past 3 months. I figured it was taking way to long and decided to use template here instead. In less than hour I was able to add all the information on the template and provide forms to our Seller to use. We were buying and he didnt think they were necessary. But I refused to pay him in full until he agreed to sign papers at the bank, and of course in front of a notary. We turned around and filed the Release of lien paperwork at County Clerks office, we officially own our house. Thank you!

loved the ease of use for the forms. went on line to find out about Adobe Reader, too. Had a test to see if I had it. Took few seconds. Then on to ordering and downloading which took only 5 minutes for the three forms I wanted. Thanks, Katie Anderson
