Missouri Trustee's Deed - Two Trustees to Husband and Wife / Two Individuals
About this form
The Trustee's Deed is a legal document that allows trustees of a trust to convey property to two individuals, such as a husband and wife, or to two individuals who are not married. This form is distinct from other property transfer instruments because it specifies that the grantors (the trustees) are only warranting the title against issues that occurred while the property was held in the trust, ensuring a level of protection for the grantees.
What’s included in this form
- Identification of grantors (trustees) and grantees (recipients of the property).
- Description of the property being conveyed.
- Options for how the grantees can hold the property (e.g., tenants in common, joint tenants with right of survivorship, tenants by the entirety).
- Warrant of title by the grantor based on specific conditions.
- Signature areas for the trustees and any necessary notarization details.
