Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Title transfer after death of seller

Your best bet would be to contact a title company for the specific documents.

If the named "trustee" on the 1st Trust Deed is

a title company, they will have all the documentation

necessary.

The mechanics of what you want to do are fairly simple.

The beneficiary on the TD (the woman who holds

the note and TD) would send a Request for Full Reconveyance,

the original Deed of Trust and the the original Note

Secured by Deed of Trust to the Trustee, who would

then issue a reconveyance to you. You would then record in the

county recorder's office.

If the Trustee on the note is not a Title Company,

then either you or the beneficiary will have to

prepare the documents. I'd suggest getting

the assistance of an attorney, if a title company

is not named as Trustee in the Trust Deed.

Please let me know if you need further information.

Alternatively, you might want to contact the San

Diego County Bar Association Attorney Referral

Service for names and numbers of local real estate

practitioners.
