» What is a Substitution of Trustee/Deed of Reconveyance?
A Substitution of Trustee/Deed of Reconveyance is recorded when a loan
is paid off or refinanced. It does not necessarily reflect the name of the
current property owner. For example: if you assume a loan the Substitution
of Trustee/Deed of Reconveyance is recorded in the name of the original
borrower, not the current homeowner.
» Can I obtain forms from the Recorder's office?
This office does not provide document forms and cannot assist you in
preparing them. Consult an attorney, a title company, or persons
familiar with real estate record preparation. If you choose to
prepare the document yourself, you may purchase forms at certain stationery
stores. The library
and self help books may assist you. It is your responsibility to
select the correct form to meet your needs.
» How can I meet the legibility requirements?
We process all recorded documents using digital high speed
scanners. All of the documents recorded in our office are inspected
to assure that the document is legible and will scan on our
equipment. To ensure that your document will scan properly please do
not use highlighter pens. Please use black or dark blue ink, use only
standard fonts (arial, times new roman) in a standard size (9 size font or
larger), underline items you want to highlight as bold type
in the body of a document does not scan clearly. Documents printed on
a laser printer will scan far better than documents printed on an ink jet
printer.
