*The Following Pennsylvania and Bucks County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Real Estate Registration
This form is required in Buckingham Township when recording a deed.
E-mail Receipt Form
In an effort to reduce costs and the amount of paper consumption by the Recorder of Deeds Office, their office will no longer be providing paper copies of receipts for documents submitted. The new process will be to email copies of receipts to document submitters. If they must print a paper copy of a receipt there will be a .50 cent charge per receipt requested. This is a form that can be completed so that they can enter all email addresses for document submitters into the Landex system. Completed forms should be returned to the Bucks County Recorder of Deeds Office.
Realty Transfer Tax
Complete each section and file in duplicate with Recorder of Deeds when: (1) the full value/consideration is not set forth in the deed, (2) the deed is without consideration or by gift, or (3) a tax exemption is claimed. Note: This is a statewide form required in every county where applicable.
Transfer Tax
These pages offer information on transfer tax in Pennsylvania. They also list transfer tax exemptions to determine whether the deed in question is exempt.
Valuation Factors
If transfer tax is due, this will show how much is owed by county. The short list contains current rates for all counties, the long list traces the development of rates over time for each county.
Homestead / Farmland Exemption
For properties considered the primary residence of the taxpayer, a homestead exemption may exist. The Bucks County Homestead Exemption can reduce the appraised valuation of a primary residence before calculating the property tax owed, resulting in a lower annual property tax rate for owner-occupied homes.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by Pennsylvania notaries.
Including:
Title 20, Chapter 77 of the Pennsylvania Statutes governs trusts in the State of Pennsylvania.
A trust is a wealth management tool commonly used in estate planning. There are three main parties to a trust: the settlor, who funds the trust by conveying assets into it; the trustee, who administers the trust and controls its assets; and the beneficiary, who has a present or future interest in the trust (P.S. 7703). Note that a sole trustee cannot also be the sole beneficiary (P.S. 7732(a)(5)).
Under a trust, the acting trustee manages the trust as directed by the settlor. This arrangement works, in part, because the trustee holds what amounts to a proxy title to the trust's assets. If the trust contains real property that the settlor wishes to sell, the trustee executes and records a document called a trustee's deed to transfer the title to the grantee/buyer -- the settlor is not identified in the transaction.
In most cases, trustee's deeds are modified quitclaim or special warranty deeds. Quitclaim deeds contain no warranties of title, and special warranty deeds only offer the grantee protection against title claims originating while grantor controlled the property. Generally, a trustee uses a quitclaim deed if the settlor and grantee are close relatives (spouses, parent to child, etc.). A trustee of a living trust might also use a quitclaim deed to transfer property out of the trust and to himself as an individual. Third-party purchasers might require a special warranty deed in order to obtain a mortgage or title insurance.
Besides fulfilling the requirements for all instruments affecting real property in the State of Pennsylvania (tax parcel number, legal description, prior deed information, certificate of residence, and so on), the trustee's deed names the trustee as the grantor and gives the date and the name of the trust under which the trustee is acting. A certificate of trust is sometimes included to verify the trust's existence and the trustee's authority to act on behalf of the trust. As with other instruments, the deed must be signed and acknowledged in the presence of a notary, then recorded in the county where the property is situated.
Trust law can be thorny, and each situation is unique. Consult an attorney with specific questions or for complicated circumstances.

Review: The certification of trust looks fine to me. I printed it and filled it out and had it notarized today. I have not sent it to the company that wants it yet so that will be the test. They are very picky. If they have any comment I will let you know.

Review: As promised, my forms were immediately ready for download. The forms were exactly what i wanted. I couldnt be happier and i cant even guess how much money i saved. They were even formatted to the exact font, spacing and margin used by my county. It is obvious a lot of time and effort was put into the preparation of these documents. They are absolutely perfect. Check it out, you wont be disappointed and the price is much less than i expected. Don caldwell

Review: The process for receiving the quitclaim document worked well. I couldn't use the document. If I had been able to view the document before I had to pay for it, I would have known, but that isn't how your process works. However, that's the only snag I found. Otherwise the process for paying and downloading the document worked well. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback Beverly. We certainly do not want you to pay for something you are unable to use. To that end we have canceled your order and refunded your payment. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs. Have a wonderful day.

Review: I filled out the deed, had it notarized, and recorded. No problems. I put this off for so long. Once I had the form it was recorded in one day.
