A notary public completes the acknowledgment below. Do not sign
this deed until you are in front of the notary.
- 1APN. The assessor’s parcel number. We look it up from county records.
- 2Transfer tax declaration. We prepare this and the exemption language.
- 3Current vesting (the grantor). Exactly how title reads today. We pull this from the last recorded deed — you can paste it if you have it, but you don’t need to.
- 4New vesting (the grantee) — this one is yours. It’s the one thing no record can tell us. Give it to us word for word. If it’s a trust, copy the name and year straight off the trust document. We can’t advise you on how to hold title, but if the wording looks off to us we’ll call before anything gets recorded.
- 5County. Where the property sits. You pick it on the form.
- 6Legal description. Not the street address — the surveyor’s description. We research it. Paste it only if you have your deed in front of you.
- 7Property address. You give us this.
Can’t find your deed?
You don’t need it. Everything shaded grey above is
something we research for you — that’s part of what you’re paying for. Leave those fields blank rather than guessing.
If you’d still like a copy for your own records, a few places to look:
- Your closing or escrow packet from when you bought the property.
- Your county recorder’s office — search your county County Recorder copy request. Most sell copies for a few dollars.
- The title company or lender that handled your purchase.
Still stuck? Finish your order anyway. Once you’re in, we’ll get on the phone and work through it with you.
