When a promissory note secured by a Deed of Trust is paid off, the beneficiary/lender contacts the trustee and notifies him/her to reconvey title to the Trustor/borrower. If the original Trustee is unavailable or can't act, a substitute trustee is typically chosen. This form allows the lender to choose a new trustee and authorizes the new trustee to reconvey title by recording the form. This form can be exercised by the original beneficiary/lender or a secondary beneficiary/lender who may have purchased/inherited the promissory note.
