This form is used to substitute a trustee in a Deed of Trust Document. This is frequently done when the Deed of Trust is in default and the current trustee can't or won't act. This document is executed by the Beneficiary/lender, assignee, representative, attorney or mortgage servicer.

"Substitute trustee" means a person appointed by the current mortgagee or mortgage servicer under the terms of the security instrument to exercise the power of sale. Sec. 51.0001.(7)

Sec. 51.0075. AUTHORITY OF TRUSTEE OR SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEE.

(b) A trustee or substitute trustee is not a debt collector.

(c) Notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, a mortgagee may appoint or may authorize a mortgage servicer to appoint a substitute trustee or substitute trustees to succeed to all title, powers, and duties of the original trustee.

(d) A mortgage servicer may authorize an attorney to appoint a substitute trustee or substitute trustees on behalf of a mortgagee under Subsection (c).

(e) The name and a street address for a trustee or substitute trustees shall be disclosed on the notice required by Section 51.002(b).

(f) The purchase price in a sale held by a trustee or substitute trustee under this section is due and payable without delay on acceptance of the bid or within such reasonable time as may be agreed upon by the purchaser and the trustee or substitute trustee if the purchaser makes such request for additional time to deliver the purchase price.

In Colorado a Release of a Deed of Trust without the original note must be efiled - the Recorder said it had to be Simplifile or CSC Global neither of whom are designed to do a 1 off filing (you have to subscribe). Fortunately, I found Deeds.com - they were great. helped me work through a couple clerical issues and it is done. I am so happy and pleased. I would give them more stars if I could. I will spread the word among the realtors and title companies who couldn't help that there is a better option.

Thank you, John. We’re glad we could help get the Colorado release submitted and recorded. We appreciate the kind words and especially appreciate you spreading the word to others who may run into the same filing roadblocks.

I was unable to finish what I started due to computer crash. I'll get back soon. I paid off my mortgage last year in November. I need to see what to do to get the deed to my property.

I never could even think to solve an important issue involving even overseas individuals without even a lawyer within 24 h. This service works for real and I'll keep using it from now for any future needs, referring to and proposing it as a legitimate, trusted real Optimus service. I'm extremely satisfied and being a Public Official myself I got to say that these guys have really impressed me!

deeds.com was able to turnaround my document in a matter of hours. I was also surprised at how easy their website was to navigate, considering other websites that offered the same service were so convoluted. Thank you again for the quick turnaround.
