Which deed is used by a trustee to return title to the truster?

• A. Trustees deed
• B. Reconveyance deed
• C. Guardians deed
• D. Partition deed

Answer: (B)

In a deed of trust arrangement, title is held by a trustee for the benefit of the lender. When the loan is paid or the trust ends, the trustee reconveys the title back to the truster. The instrument used for this is a reconveyance deed, which formally transfers ownership from the trustee to the trustor and removes the lien from the property. Other deeds have different purposes: a guardian’s deed handles guardianship, a partition deed divides property among co-owners, and a trustee’s deed is typically used to convey title from the trustee to a buyer after a sale. So returning title to the truster is accomplished with a reconveyance deed.
