The Problem

Title Companies Won't Record Your Deed Without a Sale

If you need to transfer property into a living trust, add or remove a spouse, settle a divorce, or move real estate into an LLC, you've likely discovered that title companies and escrow officers only handle deed recording as part of a property sale with escrow.

That leaves thousands of California property owners stuck — unable to complete routine transfers that don't involve a buyer, seller, or mortgage lender. Attorneys can help, but often charge $500–$1,500 or more for a simple deed.

That's where TrustPoint comes in. As a registered Legal Document Assistant, we prepare, notarize, and electronically record property deeds across all 58 California counties — no escrow, no sale, no attorney fees required.

  • "Try calling an attorney"

Deed Types We Prepare

Every California Property Deed — One Flat Fee

Whether you're funding a living trust, removing an ex-spouse after divorce, gifting property to family, or restructuring ownership through an LLC, we prepare the correct deed and ensure it meets county recorder requirements.

01

Grant Deed

The standard ownership transfer deed in California. Guarantees the grantor hasn't already conveyed the property and hasn't created undisclosed encumbrances.

02

Quitclaim Deed

Transfers whatever interest the grantor holds — without warranties. Commonly used between family members, to add or remove a name from title, or to clear up ownership.

Learn more
03

Interspousal Transfer Deed

Transfers property between married spouses. Frequently used during marriage, divorce, or refinancing to adjust title.

Learn more
04

Trust Transfer Deed

Moves real estate into or out of a California living trust. Essential for estate planning — unfunded trusts lead to probate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Property Deed Transfers

What is a deed transfer and when do I need one?
A deed transfer changes property ownership from one person or entity to another. You need one when adding or removing a spouse, transferring property into a living trust, settling a divorce, gifting real estate to family, moving property into an LLC, or clearing title after a joint tenant or trustee passes away. In California, the deed must be properly prepared, notarized, and recorded with the county recorder's office.
Why can't my title company record my deed?
Title companies and escrow officers only handle deed recording as part of a property sale involving escrow. If your transfer doesn't involve a buyer, seller, or mortgage lender — such as trust funding, family transfers, or divorce settlements — most title companies decline. We fill that gap by preparing and recording deeds for non-escrow transfers.
How long does the deed recording process take?
We typically prepare the deed within 1–3 business days. Once notarized, electronic recording can happen the same day. Most clients have their deed fully recorded within 3–5 business days from the initial submission. Rush service is available.
Do I need to visit your office?
Only for notarization — a quick signing at our San Jose location (434 Blossom Hill Rd). Walk-ins welcome Mon–Fri 10am–6pm. We can also arrange a mobile notary. Everything else is handled electronically.
Can you record a deed in any California county?
Yes — we record deeds electronically in all 58 California counties. Whether your property is in Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, or anywhere in the state, we submit directly through our e-recording platform.
Are you an attorney?
No — TrustPoint is a registered Legal Document Assistant (LDA #268, Santa Clara County), not a law firm. We prepare documents at your direction but cannot provide legal advice or select forms for you. Learn more about our services.
