A trustee's deed is a form of conveyance used in trust administration and named for the person executing the deed. A trustee, as the grantor, uses the deed to convey real property out of a trust and vest title in the name of the grantee.
Note: A trustee's deed is separate from a public trustee's deed, which is a form of conveyance used by a county-appointed public trustee to transfer foreclosed property under a deed of trust containing a power of sale.
Generally, a Colorado trustee's deed is a bargain and sale deed. A bargain and sale deed conveys all interest in real property a grantor has without warranties of title, and recites consideration, which is the entire monetary compensation the grantee has paid for the transfer. Some trustee's deeds contain special warranties, however. A special warranty deed warrants the title only for the duration of the grantor's ownership of the property, and may contain further limitations.
In order for a trustee to convey trust property pursuant to C.R.S. 38-30-108.5, a statement of authority must be on record certifying the trustee's authority to act on behalf of the trust.
The trustee's deed follows the format established under C.R.S. 38-30-113. In addition, it references the name and date of the trust on behalf of which the trustee is acting, as well as the trust's legal mailing address as specified in the statement of authority.
As with all documents affecting real property, the deed requires a legal description of the subject real property, including the commonly known address and assessor's parcel identification number. All acting trustees are required to sign the deed in the presence of a notary public. The deed is recorded in the same county in which the subject real property is situated.
(Colorado Trust Deed Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)
Trust law is complex, as each situation is unique. Consult a lawyer with any questions concerning trust law.

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.
Thanks for the kind words James, glad we could help. Look forward to seeing you again.

Wasn’t what I expected
Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

I am so glad I found this resource! As the Executor of a family members estate I wanted to save money by bypassing a lawyer as it seemed pretty straight forward to tranfer a Life Estate to the remainderman. (I had original deeds). But talking with 3 different states and 4 different counties - none of which seemed to need the same documents, I was almost ready to dump this in a lawyer's lap. This resource makes it simple!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

This was pretty easy to fill out. The directions on all of the forms was very good. This should make life much easier at the County Recorder.
Thank you!

The Beneficiary Deed is easy to fill out, expecially with the examples/explanations provided. The only recommendation I would make is to state that the Parcel ID and the Assessor's ID are one in the same. I looked everywhere for something that mentions "Assessor's ID" in my paperwork to no avail. Upon calling the Maricopa Assessor's number in Maricopa I was told that they are the same.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It's worth the cost to download the fill in the blank forms. So quick and easy. The lady I spoke to on the phone was super nice and very helpful. She deserves a medal for being so patient with me.
Thank you!
