Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Texas trustee is regularly asked to prove the trust: a title company examining a sale, a lender refinancing trust property, a bank retitling an account. Handing over the full trust instrument answers the question at the cost of the family's privacy, because the dispositive terms, who ultimately takes and on what conditions, travel with it. Section 114.086 of the Texas Property Code supplies the alternative this form prepares: a certification of trust, signed by a currently acting trustee, that carries the administrative facts a third party legitimately requires and expressly omits the dispositive terms of the trust.

What the Certification Carries

The statute lists seven items: the trust's existence and the date the trust instrument was executed, the settlor's identity, the currently acting trustee and mailing address, the trustee's powers (stated specifically or by reference to the general powers of Chapter 113, Subchapter A), revocability and who holds a power to revoke, the authority of cotrustees, and the manner of vesting title to trust property. Section 114.086(c) adds one required sentence: the trust has not been revoked, modified, or amended in any manner that would cause the representations in the certification to be incorrect. The form collects the seven items in numbered sections and performs the certification in a single operative paragraph the trustee signs before a notary.

Reliance the Statute Enforces

What gives the certification its force is the reliance structure built around it. A person who acts in reliance on a certification without knowledge that its representations are incorrect is not liable and may assume without inquiry the facts it contains, and a good faith counterparty may enforce the transaction against the trust property as if the representations were correct. The statute also polices the other side of the exchange: a recipient may require excerpts from the trust instrument showing the trustee's designation and power to act in the pending transaction, but a person who demands the entire trust instrument on top of a certification or those excerpts is liable for damages where a court finds the demand was not made in good faith.

Built for the County Records

No statute conditions the certification on recording, but a certification connected to real property is commonly placed of record so later title examiners find it. The form is built for that path. It carries a notarial acknowledgment, which qualifies it for recording under Property Code Section 12.001(a); an optional section identifying the property by county and legal description, so the recorded instrument indexes against the parcel; and a printed statement that the certification is not a conveyance and transfers no interest in real property. Because Section 114.086(b) lets any trustee sign, the form provides a signature block and a separate acknowledgment certificate for one trustee and for a cotrustee who joins.

What Arrives in the Download

The package contains the certification as a fillable PDF formatted to Texas recording standards, a completed example filled in for a realistic Travis County fact pattern, and a plain language guide covering every numbered section, the signing formalities, and recording, including the photo identification requirement at the recording counter for documents presented in person on or after December 4, 2025. The materials are informational and are not legal advice; a Texas attorney can apply Section 114.086 to a particular trust or transaction.

Your documents were very helpful. I went ahead and filled in all the info for the Release of Lien document. It was easy to do with your example. I had all the necessary info such as plot numbers, etc. for the property and everything fit nicely onto the document. It has been notorized and mailed. My grandparents' Victorian home has new owners who love it and has paid it off. Yeah!!!

Ordered two separate forms for two separate states at two differnt times and couldn't be happier with my purchase. When compared to the cost of having two different attorneys prepare the forms I needed, the value of deeds.com couldn't be beat!
