Questions answered? Let's get started!
A trustee's signature line carries two things: a name and an office. This fillable North Carolina quitclaim deed is drawn for the moment land leaves a trust. One acting trustee signs as Grantor, in that fiduciary capacity and not individually, releasing whatever right, title, and interest the trust holds in the described parcel to the named Grantee, with no covenant of title attached.
Where a trustee's authority to convey comes from
A trustee conveying North Carolina land answers to two documents: the trust instrument and the Uniform Trust Code. G.S. 36C-8-816 lists the trustee's specific powers, among them the power at subdivision (2) to acquire or sell property, for cash or on credit, at public or private sale, and the powers at subdivision (26) that survive termination, including distributing trust property to the persons entitled to it. The other side of the table has its own protection: under G.S. 36C-10-1012(b) a person other than a beneficiary dealing in good faith and for value with a trustee need not inquire into the extent of the trustee's powers. A certification of trust under G.S. 36C-10-1013 is recorded separately where a lender or insurer wants that authority documented, and is not part of this package.
The statute that reads past imperfect wording
Trust deeds reach North Carolina registries worded loosely, and G.S. 39-6.7 absorbs the variation. Subsection (b) treats an instrument purporting to convey an interest by a trust as a transfer by the trustee or trustees of that trust. Subsection (c) makes the deed sufficient whether the trustee signed as such or on behalf of the trust, and whether the deed that brought title in ran to the trustee as such or to the trust by name; subsection (d) lets the trustee convey as trustee in that second situation. Both print in Section 8, so the question is answered on the page rather than argued later.
One trustee signs, and the certificate says so
The form recites one acting trustee, the name of the trust, and the date of the trust instrument, then a single signature block whose printed name line carries the office beside the name. One acknowledgment certificate follows, its by-line taking the signer's name with the fiduciary capacity: G.S. 47-38 states that its certificate form serves an individual acting as the trustee of a trust whether or not the certificate says so, and G.S. 47-37.1(b) permits the acknowledgment to identify the fiduciary capacity. Positions presenting this configuration in the records include a trustee distributing a parcel to a beneficiary as the trust winds up, a successor trustee clearing trust-held land out after the settlor has died, and a trustee releasing the trust's undivided share so that title gathers in one name. The form is not set up for two cotrustees signing together, the configuration G.S. 36C-7-703(a) reaches by calling for unanimity where two cotrustees serve, nor for the substitution and foreclosure instruments that belong to a deed of trust under Chapter 45.
A release, and an excise line that tracks the consideration
North Carolina prescribes no quitclaim form, so this instrument, searched as a quit claim deed and as a non-warranty deed, works through its own words: it remises, releases, and quitclaims the trust's interest, if any, with no warranty of title traveling with it. G.S. 39-1 carries the whole of what the trust holds unless the deed shows a smaller estate, liens and easements included. The excise figure on page one follows the recited consideration, one dollar per five hundred dollars or fraction under G.S. 105-228.30, collected and marked by the register under G.S. 105-228.32; G.S. 105-228.29 lists the classes outside the tax.
What page one gives the register
Page one keeps the three inch recording space of G.S. 161-14(b), states the instrument type beneath it, and gathers the drafter entry G.S. 47-17.1 makes a condition of acceptance, the parcel identifier for the county systems of G.S. 161-30, and the return block. The body carries the party addresses and the primary residence statement of G.S. 105-317.2. Registration in the county where the land lies is what makes the conveyance good against lien creditors and purchasers under G.S. 47-18.
The download holds this deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example worked through a Buncombe County distribution from a family trust to a beneficiary, and a plain language guide covering each numbered section, the trustee entries, the vesting menu, and the recording steps. The materials describe North Carolina law in general terms and are not legal advice.

I was referred to your company, but when i tried to process the recording of a deed to a property in City of Philadelphia my service was rejected. I appreciated the feedback i received from one of your representatives who instructed me in the right process for recording a deed in philadelphia. Thank you for all your help. The deed that needed to be recorded was overnighted yesterday. Stay safe and mask up
Thank you!

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.

It was very easy to set up the account but then everything is very costly. I didn't see any publications that were free to account holders, so as infrequently I have to do a title search, I may as well just hire an online service to do the legwork too.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for the excellent and complete layout of all forms needed to complete the Affidavit of Death and Heirship, including the notarial officer and an example of how these forms should be completed. This method definitely saves time and money and an answer to my family's Prayers.

5 stars. Licensed to practice law for 25 years in multiple jurisdictions, the most dreaded part of doing what you already know how to do is researching again to make sure the legislatures have not changed the rules while you were doing something else. 22 bucks for this package is one hell of a deal and a real timesaver. Many thanks.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Laborious process to gain access; need to indicate PRIINT when complete and inform that if page is backspaced, entered info disappears, necessitating starting all over again. There is only one “A” provision, when some documents have several more. Space is too limited in some instances to provide what is necessary for recording. Thank you
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
