Trusts are not filed or registered with the Court. You may wish to contact the County Recorder or the attorney who prepared the trust to obtain copies.
For real estate documents like deeds and mortgages, request them online, by mail, or in person at the clerk-recorder's office. To request a public record at the clerk-recorder's Office, one will need an instrument number, book and page number, or reel and image number.
While that's a reasonable question, the fact is, trust documents generally avoid the court completely. As such, they are not matters of public record. This means that you likely will not be able to secure a copy of the trust from the Office of the County Clerk or the courthouse in the same way you would a will.
You'll find most California property deeds at the County Clerk's office, also called the Registrar/Recorder office. Some of them provide online searches. Others require visiting their offices. For example, the San Diego County Clerk's Office provides online searches.
Records may be requested in the following ways: By submitting a request online via NextRequest. By telephone or visiting a department. By submitting a request in writing via email or US Mail.
The grantor must sign the deed form and that signature must be properly acknowledged by a notary public. All signatures must be original; we cannot accept photocopies. A complete description of the property including the village, town, county and state where the property is located must also be included on the form.
For a deed to be legal, it must state the name of the buyer and the seller, describe the property being transferred, and include the signature of the party transferring the property. In addition to being either official or private, deeds are classified as general warranty, special warranty, or quitclaim.
What is an example of deed? A warranty deed is the most common example of a deed. A warranty deed is a deed that indicates that the property has been fully researched, and the grantor guarantees (warrants) that the grantor has full legal rights to sell the property with no liens or other encumbrances.
You may not need to involve an attorney to create a particular deed if you already have all the information. This is especially true if you are transferring property between family members or into or out of a trust. We provide several real estate forms that can help you transfer property validly in your state.
