The Grantor is the person who owns the property currently. The Grantee is the person or entity you would like to own the property.

• For transfers into a trust: current recorded vesting deed, tax bill, and trust documents.
• For transfers into an LLC: current recorded vesting deed, tax bill, and operating agreement or other documentation showing the current members of the LLC.
• If a Grantor has passed: copy of the death certificate and Letters of Administration, if applicable.
• If a Trustee has passed since trust took title or resigned: copy of the death certificate or resignation/acceptance.

When transferring property into or out of a trust, it is important to enter the trust name and trustee information correctly on the order form. Incorrect entries can delay your order or require revisions.

If your client has more than one property to transfer, you may batch your order so that you don't have to re-enter the grantor/grantee information multiple times. Before clicking the 'submit order' button on the first order, select the option above it ('+ create duplicate order'). This will allow you to complete your second order, then third order, etc. After you complete all of the orders, click the 'submit order' button. This will batch your order so you won't have to enter the information multiple times and the same person will work on all of the deeds you've requested.

Modifications to your order (requested prior to deed package delivery) or revisions (requested after deed package delivery) may be requested by logging into our website and making the request online under the Actions tab. Emails addressed directly to our @usdeeds.com email addresses are only received by that particular individual whereas modification and revision requests through the website appear on our dashboards which are monitored (if we're out of the office) and are received and acted upon in a timely manner.

Effective March 1, 2026, the U.S. Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN") requires the filing of a Real Estate Report (RER) for all "non-financed" transfers of "residential" real estate to an "entity or trust" unless an exemption applies.

If it appears your proposed transfer may be reportable, US Deeds will walk you through the questions necessary to determine whether or not a report must be filed. If reportable, US Deeds will file the report with FINCEN for an additional fee or you may record your deed and file the FINCEN report yourself.

Yes. You may file a FINCEN report online by visiting fincen.gov/rre. However, to do so you must make yourself a "reporting person" on the FINCEN "reporting cascade". This is done by assuming responsibility for recording the deed and executing a Designation Agreement naming you as the reporting person.

You are able to pay by check or by credit card. To pay by credit card, log into your account to bring up your file. Under "Actions" you will be given an option to pay the invoice. If your attorney placed the deed request for you and you do not have your own login, you may call Phillip Smith (813) 643-7987 and he can process the payment for you.

Check the date filter and make sure it goes back far enough to include your order. It will default to the past 30 days.

We will prepare and email the requested deed and any required transfer forms to you within 7–10 business days with our invoice for recording fees.
