The Living Trust Property Record form is designed for trustees to document the assets held within a living trust. A living trust is established during a person's lifetime to manage their property and facilitate estate planning. This specific form helps trustees maintain an inventory of all trust assets, including real, personal, and intellectual property, ensuring accurate records of property description, date acquired, value, and any changes in ownership.
This form is typically used when setting up or managing a living trust. It is essential for trustees to record all trust properties accurately, especially following any acquisitions, sales, or transfers of assets. This form can also be helpful during estate planning discussions or if the trust needs to be evaluated for tax purposes.
This form usually doesn’t need to be notarized. However, local laws or specific transactions may require it. Our online notarization service, powered by Notarize, lets you complete it remotely through a secure video session, available 24/7.

If you can't find original living trust documents, you can contact the California Bar Association for assistance. Trusts aren't recorded anywhere, so you can't go to the County Recorder's office in the courthouse to ask to see a copy of the trust.
Legally your Trust now owns all of your assets, but you manage all of the assets as the Trustee. This is the essential step that allows you to avoid Probate Court because there is nothing for the courts to control when you die or become incapacitated.

Trusts created during your lifetime, known as living trusts, do not go into the public record after you die. With rare exceptions, trusts remain private regardless of whether you have an irrevocable or revocable trust at the time of your death.
Today clients who have living trusts normally keep the original copy. Having the attorney keep the original copy of the trust is not as important as keeping the original will used to be. At death, a copy of the trust generally suffices for all parties in place of the original.
Trusts aren't public record, so they're not usually recorded anywhere. Instead, the trust attorney determines who is entitled to receive a copy of the document, even if state law doesn't require it.
Anyone can look up a particular parcel of real estate in the local land records office (often called the county recorder or registry of deeds, depending on where you live) and find out who owns it. (Often, other information is also available, such as the amount of property taxes paid each year.)
What happens if you have lost your Trust?If a Trust is lost, and the decedent has assets titled in the name of the Trust, the court will require that the heirs/Successor Trustees spend a significant amount of time and money searching for the Trust and documenting the search process.
