Q: My parents living trust was sent back to them from the recorders office stating it was too dark to read. What do I do ?
5 things were checked off in the box for them to fix before the trust can be filed and the entire package was completed and signed when the agent was present. I don't know who to contact , can you explain to me who I can contact to help.
A: A lawyer would need to know why you are trying to record the trust because that isn’t the normal procedure. Does the County Assessor want to see the trust g(as opposed to the County Recorder)? Most estate planning lawyers should be able to help you with administering the trust (assuming your parents have passed away.) Contact an estate planning lawyer for assistance. If a lawyer already told you that the trust needs to be recorded, perhaps taking the trust to a photocopy shop like Staples to have a lighter copy made, then giving the Recorder BOTH the original document and a copy that’s easier to read. Recorders want the original documents. Hope that helps!
