Questions answered? Let's get started!
Property held in a Texas living trust is titled in the trustee's name, and when the moment comes to sell it or distribute it to a beneficiary, the trustee is the one who signs the deed. This trustee's deed conveys real property out of an express trust under the Texas Trust Code, with the grantor acting solely as trustee and not individually, and with a special warranty measured by the grantor's own tenure in the title.
A conveyance in a fiduciary capacity
The statutory authority sits in the Trust Code itself. Property Code Section 113.010 authorizes a trustee to contract to sell, sell and convey, or grant an option to sell real property at public auction or private sale, and Section 113.001 places the trust instrument above every statutory power, so the instrument creating the trust remains the first word on the trustee's authority. The deed identifies the trust by name and by the date of the trust instrument, recites the trustee capacity in the granting clause and the warranty, and carries the acknowledgment in the same capacity, so the county record shows a fiduciary conveyance from end to end.
The trust stays off the record
Trust instruments are private documents and ordinarily go unrecorded. Texas bridges the gap with the certification of trust of Property Code Section 114.086, a trustee-signed summary of the trust's existence, its date, the acting trustee, and the trustee's powers; a person relying on one in good faith may assume the facts it states without inquiry. The deed provides a line for the recording reference of a recorded certification of trust, and the companion protections of Sections 114.081 and 114.082 shield people who deal with a trustee in good faith and for fair value.
A warranty measured by the trustee's tenure
The deed conveys with the statutory words of grant from Property Code Section 5.022, then states its warranty expressly: the grantor, in the trustee capacity and not individually, warrants and defends the title against every person lawfully claiming by, through, or under the grantor, but not otherwise. That is the classic Texas special warranty: it covers the title during the grantor's tenure and leaves earlier history outside the covenant, narrower than a general warranty and broader than a deed without warranty, which excludes even the implied covenants of Section 5.023.
One name, two very different deeds
Texas practice uses the phrase trustee's deed for an unrelated instrument as well: the substitute trustee's deed delivered after a nonjudicial foreclosure sale under a deed of trust. This form is not that document; it recites no foreclosure and no power of sale, only the ordinary conveyance of trust-held property by the trustee of an express trust.
Recording the deed
The completed deed records with the county clerk of the county where the property is located, and Texas imposes no transfer tax, so the deed and any exhibits are the whole package. The confidentiality notice required by Property Code Section 11.008 appears at the top of the first page, above reserved space for the recording stamp. The download includes the blank deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example on a realistic Williamson County fact pattern, and a guide covering every numbered section; the materials are informational and are not legal advice.
Important: Your property must be located in Clay County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

Very easy to purchase with immediate use of all of the forms that you need for probate of property. My parents had died and left equal shares of their home to my 2 brothers and I.
Thank you!

The Deeds.com site made is relatively simple to download a Beneficiary Deed form specific to St Louis, which is great, because neither the city or state provide this. Thanks!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I did not like the size of the Warranty Deed form which took 2 pages to print. It should be no larger than 8 1/2 by 14 inches. I did not like that I could not reformat it to be smaller, could not eliminate unused lines, could not delete the excessive 4 signature lines, could not copy or paste into text editor. Very unsatisfactory rating.
Thank you for your feedback Michael. Unfortunately we don't make the requirements, we only make the documents to be compliant with the requirements. Have a great day!

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!
Thank you Gregory. We appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback. Have a great day!
