Not sure this is the right document? Say so when you call — if it is a legal question we will tell you, rather than guess.
What this is
An estate without a funded living trust goes through probate — a court process that can run months to years, carries court costs, and puts the whole file on the public record. A living trust is one of the cleanest ways to avoid that: assets held in the trust can reach your beneficiaries without probate court, privately, on the schedule the trust sets out — and if you are ever unable to manage your own affairs, the person the trust names can step in without a court order.
But a trust only protects what has actually been put into it. A trust that was signed and then left unfunded protects nothing — and real property moves into a trust by a deed that gets recorded. That is where we come in: we notarize the trust documents your attorney has drawn, and we prepare, notarize and record the trust-transfer deed that moves your home into the trust — the step that makes the plan real.
Our part, and your attorney’s part
- Your attorney drafts the trust around your circumstances. That is the practice of law, and it is their job — we will tell you so on the phone if you call us for it.
- We notarize the documents, prepare and record the deeds that fund the trust, and keep the journal record the law requires. Prefer us to come to you? Our premium mobile service travels to wherever is convenient.

How it works
From the first call to the recorded copy
Most people have never done this before and are doing it at a difficult moment. So here is the whole thing, in order, with nothing left out.
We travel to you by appointment, including evenings and weekends.
-
You call or text us
Tell us what has to be protected and where the property is. If it is not something we should be doing for you, we say so on that first call.
-
A short intake
We confirm the names, how title is currently held, the parcel number, and exactly how the document should read. Then we tell you what to have ready — current photo ID for every signer, and the existing deed if you have it.
-
We prepare the documents you direct us to prepare
Drafted from what you told us and formatted to the recorder’s requirements, then sent to you to read before anyone signs anything.
-
Your documents are signed and notarized
Every signer shows current photo ID, and we complete the notarial certificate and the journal entry the law requires. Prefer us to come to you? Our mobile service is available as a premium upgrade — wherever is convenient, on your schedule.
-
Your home deed is recorded with the county
The deed goes to the recorder for the property’s county — requirements vary by county, and the document is formatted to the right one — with the correct cover sheet and the correct fees, which are passed through to you at cost.
-
You get the recorded copy
The recorded document is emailed to you as soon as it comes back, and the original is mailed with the right postage and mail class. You keep your originals; we retain only the journal record the law requires.
