Questions answered? Let's get started!
The blank that defines this New York quitclaim deed sits on the receiving side. Section 2 names a trustee, the trust that trustee serves, and the date of the trust instrument, so the land records show not only who takes the property but in what capacity. This form prepares a quitclaim deed, also typed as a quit claim deed, for New York real property moving out of one individual owner's name and into the hands of a trustee.
Why the trustee is the grantee, and not the trust
Estates, Powers and Trusts Law Section 7-2.1(a) puts the legal estate of an express trust in the trustee, subject only to the execution of the trust, and leaves the beneficiary with no legal estate and a right to enforce. An ordinary lifetime trust therefore takes title through the person serving as its trustee, which is how the grantee is described on this deed. A narrow exception in Section 7-2.1(c) lets the trusts named in Sections 9-1.5, 9-1.6, and 9-1.7, business trusts among them, acquire property in the trust's own name.
Recording as the act that funds the trust
Section 7-1.18 measures a lifetime trust by what has actually been transferred into it, and states that a transfer is not accomplished by a recital of assignment, holding, or receipt in the trust instrument. Where the person who set up the trust is also its sole trustee, the same section defines transfer of a registrable asset such as real estate as the recording of the deed in the name of the trust or trustee. In that common arrangement the trip to the clerk is not merely a priority step, it is the funding step.
The trustee-grantee configuration
The form recites one individual grantor signing personally, and one grantee taking as trustee of one named trust, with separate blanks for the trustee, the trust name, the date of the trust instrument, and the grantee mailing address. A single signature block and a single acknowledgment certificate follow, in the substance of the Real Property Law Section 309-a uniform form; the trustee signs nothing, since a New York deed is executed by the grantor alone. Where two or more people take as trustees, Estates, Powers and Trusts Law Section 6-2.2(e) makes them joint tenants unless the instrument provides otherwise, and Section 9 of this deed leaves that fiduciary default in place. Patterns appearing in the record with this configuration include an owner placing a home into a revocable lifetime trust and a parent moving a family parcel to the trustee of a trust set up for children. Deeds executed by two record owners, by spouses together, or by a business entity present different party and signature sections than this form carries.
A release with no promise behind it
The operative words come from the statutory short form of Real Property Law Section 258: remise, release, and quitclaim. Nothing is said about the state of the title, and Section 251 keeps it that way by refusing to imply covenants into a New York conveyance. Section 10 prints the short trust fund statement that Lien Law Section 13(5) accepts in place of the full covenant, which protects a recorded conveyance against mechanics' liens filed after a building improvement has begun.
The tax forms that ride along
Transfers into a trust are usually made for no money, and Tax Law Section 1405(b) carries two exemptions that reach them: paragraph 4 for a conveyance without consideration and otherwise than in connection with a sale, and paragraph 6 for a mere change of identity or form of ownership where beneficial ownership does not change. Neither exemption removes the paperwork. A joint TP-584 return accompanies the conveyance, TP-584-NYC where the parcel sits in the five boroughs, and the RP-5217 transfer report goes in on legal size paper with its filing fee. A mortgage left on the parcel counts toward consideration under Section 1401(d), which is where a transfer made as a gift can still meet the tax.
The download holds three items: the blank deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example prepared for an Ulster County transfer into a revocable lifetime trust, and a plain language guide covering the eleven numbered sections, the certificate, and the filings that travel with the deed. The materials are informational and are not legal advice; a New York attorney can address how a conveyance to a trustee lands on a particular title.

tl;dr - Bookmarked and anticipating using this site for years to come. My justification for rating 5/5 1. Provide intuitive method for requesting property records. 2. Cost for records *seems reasonable. 3. They clearly state that interested parties could gather these records at more affordable costs through the county (which was more confusing for an inexperienced person such as myself). I mean, I appreciate and respect this level of honesty. *I didn't shop around too much because it was difficult for me to find other services that could deliver CA property records.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Why is Dade County not listed for the Lady Bird Deed?
Because on November 13, 1997, voters changed the name of the county from Dade to Miami-Dade.

I find your forms hard to use, inasmuch as the forms cannot be converted to a Word Document. Editing and deleting of extra lines is not possible, making for a deed with large blank spaces. Document that results is not usable for me.
Sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations. We have canceled your order and payment. We do hope you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

in one of the reviews, the person said they wished that there was more room allowed for use in the grantor section. the reply was that they were sorry but there was only enough room for what was there considering margins, etc. that is not true. on the forms i downloaded there was plenty of extra room at the top of the page (about 2 inches) that was not being used.
Thank you!

Excellent service, knowledgeable, and quick responses. I'll be using this service again for any future filing needs. WAY better than going to the filing office in person!
Thank you so much for the kind words Suzanne, glad we could help.

Straightforward and pretty easy to use. The only downside is that there is no way to contact them directly. The number on the website is answered only by a voicemail with no return calls. Pricing seems fair compared to other services and much more efficient that filing "over the counter."
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The DOCUMENT AND INFORMATION WAS JUST WHAT I WANTED AND NEEDED. HOWEVER, NAVIGATING THE ON LINE PROCESS WAS A PROBLEM.. AT ONE POINT IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD PAID FOR THE PRODUCT AND LOST CONTACT WITH THE SYSTEM. I FINALLY GOT TO PRINT WHAT I PURCHASED. FOR SUCH I WOULD ONLY GIVE A FOUR STAR RATING.
Thank you, James. We're glad the documents and information met your needs, and we appreciate you pointing out the navigation issue. Feedback like this helps us improve the ordering experience. Thank you for your review and your business.

Great website. average person needs to care of stuff like this, and presented in a simple direct way. was easy to do. Like best: the sample sheet really made me secure i was doing everything in the right way. My only issue was finding the website. Keep up the good We work. Need more common legal information like this.
