In a Deed of Trust, the trustee is an independent third party who holds conditional title on behalf of the lender for the purpose of either reconveying the property back to the borrower after the loan is repaid or selling the property if the borrower defaults on the loan. Trustee's can be replaced for many reasons, incapacity, incompetency, death, etc. Often a lender will substitute a trustee with a firm or corporation that will be conducting a foreclosure.
NCG 45-10. States:
In addition to the rights and remedies now provided by law, the noteholders may, in their discretion, substitute a trustee whether the trustee then named in the instrument is the original or a substituted trustee or a holder or owner of any or all of the obligations secured thereby, by the execution of a written document properly recorded pursuant to Chapter 47
This form is executed by the beneficiary/lender for the substitution of a trustee, it includes an optional foreclosure clause if needed for that purpose.

Forms easy to download but experienced problems trying to type in my information into the forms. Then when I went to print a form, Adobe wanted to charge me for printing. I ended up printing the blank forms and then filling them out manually.
Thank you, Ronald. We're glad you found the forms easy to download, though we're sorry to hear about the printing and fill-in experience. Our forms are designed to be fillable and printable using free software like Adobe Reader. If you ever run into issues, our support team is happy to help!

Excellent full set of documents with example and guidelines on how to do it ourselves without paying a lawyer. Or, we save legal fees by completing it ourselves and having a lawyer review it. Love that I can save the pdf and fill it out whenever I want. Thank you for having this available!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

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!
