Transferring Real Property to and from Living Trusts in Utah
The Utah Uniform Trust Code, codified at Utah Code 75-7, governs trusts in Utah. A trust is an alternate method of holding title to property. In a trust arrangement, one person (the settlor) transfers property to another (the trustee), who administers the trust for the benefit of a third (the beneficiary). A transfer of property to a trustee during the settlor's lifetime results in a living (inter vivos) trust, and a transfer to a trustee pursuant to the terms of a settlor's will creates a testamentary trust.
A trust is valid only when the settlor has a capacity to create the trust and indicates an intention to do so; the trust has a definite beneficiary; the trustee has duties to perform; and the same person is not both sole trustee and sole beneficiary of the trust ( 75-7-402). The trust must be created for lawful purposes that are possible to achieve and for the benefit its beneficiaries ( 75-7-404).
A living trust is an estate planning tool allowing the settlor to determine how his assets will be distributed without the oversight of the probate court upon his death. The trust is governed by a trust instrument, a (typically) unrecorded document executed by the settlor that outlines the scope of the trust and the trust's terms. The settlor may concurrently transfer assets into the trust and/or transfer property into the trust at a later date.
In order to convey real property into trust, the settlor executes a deed titling property in the name of the trustee on behalf of the trust. Regarding real property transferred into trust, the deed of transfer requires recitation of the name and address of the trustee, and the name and date of the trust ( 75-7-816). Alternately, the trust instrument, signed by the grantor, may be recorded in the appropriate county recorder's office.
Unless otherwise limited by the terms in the trust instrument, the trustee holds the power to sell property held in trust ( 75-7-814(1)(b)). Because the trustee holds legal title to real property as the trust's administrator, the trustee executes a deed to convey interest to real property out of the trust. A trustee's deed to convey real property from a living trust is a form of special warranty deed, named after the executing party. Apart from conveying fee simple interest in the subject property to the grantee, a special warranty deed contains the grantor's covenants that the property is free from encumbrances by the grantor, and the grantor promises to warrant and defend the property's title against lawful claims arising from persons claiming by, through, or under the grantor (but none other).
The trustee's deed requires the basic information of the trust, including the name and date of trust instrument and the trustee's name and address. As with all conveyances of real property, the trustee's deed should include a legal description of the subject property. The deed must be signed by the granting party and notarized before it is recorded, if applicable, in the appropriate county. All requirements for form and content of documents pertaining to real property should be met before the document is recorded.
Recipients of a trustee's deed may require further proof of the trust's existence and the trustee's authority to transfer real property on behalf of the trust (See 75-7-1013 on certificates of trust). The information contained within this article is not a substitute for legal guidance. Consult a lawyer for regarding living trusts and conveyances of real property interests in the State of Utah, as each situation is unique.

After my county rejected a deed from another company, I researched better and purchased my Lady Bird Deed from Deeds.com. Very simple, received everything immediately. Printed out sample and guide sheets and filled out my deed. Very thorough and easy to understand. All the additional forms were awesome. And the best part is, my county recorded my deed this morning! WooHoo! Very happy customer! Thank you!
Glad to hear! Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We appreciate you. Have a great day.

Was a bit difficult to navigate. I feel a fee to access the site and a fee to print is a bit much. I am in the real estate business and find the deeds very useful

Holy cow. I was told by several people that getting a deed recorded would take 7-10 days. So I thought I'd give deeds.com a try with their e-filing service. I created my account and submitted my deed around 4:00 p.m. and it was recorded before I woke up the next morning. Awesome service! Totally worth the $19 service fee.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Excellent Service
I was looking for a copy of deeds on a few properties. Researched online and ended up at Deeds.com. I signed up for a new account, entered the pertinent information, paid a nominal fee and received all deeds within 40 minutes. Seamless and very impressed!

I love whoever is behind this website. I bought the wrong form and I told them and they refunded me asap! I figured out which form I need days later and bought it just now. They didn't have to refund me for my own mistake. That was very kind. I'll be returning for any other forms I may need and will tell others too. Thank you so much!!!!!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

First, I am glad that you gave a blank copy, an example copy, and a 'guide'. It made it much easier to do. Overall I was very happy with your products and organization... however, things got pretty confusing and I have a pretty 'serious' law background in Real Estate and Civil law. With that said, I spent about 10+ hours getting my work done, using the Deed of Trust and Promissory note from you and there were a few problems: First, it would be FANTASTIC if you actually aligned your guide to actually match the Deed or Promissory Note. What I mean is that if the Deed says 'section (E)' then your guide shouldn't be 'randomly' numbered as 1,2,3, for advice/instructions, but should EXACTLY match 'section (E)'. Some places you have to 'hunt' for what you are looking for, and if you did it based on my suggestion, you wouldn't need to 'hunt' and it would avoid confusion. 2nd: This one really 'hurt'... you had something called the 'Deed of Trust Master Form' yet you had basically no information on what it was or how to use it. The only information you had was a small section at the top of the 'Short Form Deed of Trust Guide'. Holy Cow, was that 'section' super confusing. I still don't know if I did it correctly, but your guide says only put a return address on it and leave the rest of the 16 or so page Deed of Trust beneath it blank... and then include your 'Deed of Trust' (I had to assume the short form deed that I had just created) as part of it. I had to assume that I had to print off the entire 17 page or so title page and blank deed. I also had to assume that the promissory note was supposed to be EXHIBIT A or B on the Short Form Deed. It would be great if someone would take a serious look at that short section in your 'Short Form Deed of Trust Guide' and realize that those of us using your products are seriously turning this into a county clerk to file and that most of us, probably already have a property that has an existing Deed... or at least can find one in the county records if necessary... and make sure that you make a distinction between the Deed for the property that already exists, versus the Deed of Trust and Promissory note that we are trying to file. Thanks.
Thank you for your feedback. We'll have staff review the document for clarity. Have a great day!
