What happens after you send the form, in five steps.
No office visit, no paperwork to figure out. Here is the whole process, from the moment you send your details to the recorded deed landing in your inbox.
1. You send the details
Ten minutes on the intake form, or a phone call. The Minden, Gardnerville or Tahoe property, who is coming off or going on, and how you want it held.
2. You get a price in writing
We read it, ask anything missing, then send a written disclosure, a contract naming the total and one payment link. Nothing is drafted until you say yes.
3. We prepare everything
The deed, the Declaration of Value and the exemption claim, drafted from your recorded deed so it matches the county record.
4. You sign by remote online notarization through our Las Vegas partner
Remote online notarization with our Las Vegas partner’s registered Nevada online notary, $25 per signature.
5. Recorded and returned
Submitted electronically the same day it reaches us, and the recorded copy comes back to you by email.

Transferring property in Douglas County — what it takes and what it costs.
To record a deed in Douglas County, Nevada, the signed and notarized deed and a completed Declaration of Value are submitted to the county recorder in Minden. As of 2026 the recording fee is an estimated $50 (varies by county) per standard document and the Real Property Transfer Tax is $1.95 per $500 of value, the statewide base rate with no local increment added. TruPoint, a registered Nevada Document Preparation Service in Las Vegas, prepares the deed and the Declaration of Value for $250, adds electronic recording for $50, and submits to the county the same day the document is signed.
Douglas is really two property markets recorded through one office. Carson Valley carries ranch acreage and family homes in Minden, Gardnerville, Genoa and the Ranchos. The eastern shore of Lake Tahoe — Stateline, Zephyr Cove, Kingsbury, Round Hill — carries second homes and permitted vacation rentals, many held by owners who live out of state and increasingly by entities rather than individuals.
Douglas County also applies a formatting and content standard to every recorded deed, and one that misses any part of it comes back unrecorded, often weeks later. Meeting that standard is part of what the $250 pays for.

Divorce just finalised
The decree says the Gardnerville house is yours. Until a deed is recorded, the county still shows both names. We prepare the deed that matches what the decree actually orders.
Adding a spouse to title
Newly married and want both names on the home. Often exempt from transfer tax when the exemption is claimed correctly on the Declaration of Value.
Passing ranch land to your children
Parent to child is one of Nevada’s recognised exemptions — and it matters on Carson Valley acreage where the assessed value is substantial.
A trust that owns nothing
Someone drafted the trust but nobody recorded the deed. The trust-funding deed is the step that makes the trust actually work.
Tahoe vacation rental owners
Holding a permitted Stateline or Zephyr Cove rental in your own name puts your personal assets in front of a guest claim. A deed into an LLC separates the two.
Out-of-state second-home owner
You own at the lake and live in California or further afield. Intake and recording handled remotely, and you sign by remote online notarization through our Las Vegas partner ($25 per signature) — no trip over the pass.
What Douglas County charges, on top of our fee.
These are the county’s own charges, collected when your deed records. The county recording fee is estimated at $50 and varies by county. County charges are set by the county and can change; we confirm the exact amount at intake and include it in your written total.
What a wrong deed costs. And how we get yours right the first time.
A deed that is wrong for your situation still records, and one with a detail missing comes back unrecorded weeks later, usually once a buyer, a lender or a family member needs the title to be right.
We stand behind our work. If something in a document we prepared is wrong on our end, we correct it and resubmit it for recording at our cost.

Douglas sits at the statewide base.
Nevada’s Real Property Transfer Tax has a statewide base of $1.95 per $500 of value, and Douglas County adds nothing to it. On a $600,000 Carson Valley transfer that is $2,340. Clark reaches $2.55 per $500, and Washoe and Churchill each sit at $2.05. Several family and trust transfers fall into categories Nevada recognises as exempt, claimed on the Declaration of Value. An exempt transfer still records and still requires the Declaration. We calculate the tax, or confirm the exemption basis, before you pay anything.
Submitted the same day, recorded copy back fast.
Most deeds are drafted within one business day of your approved quote. We submit electronically the same day your signed copy reaches us, and recording is typically completed within the same day to three business days.

What Carson Valley and Tahoe owners actually ask, answered plainly.
TruPoint prepares the deed and the Declaration of Value for $250. A parent to child transfer is one of the exemptions Nevada recognises, so in most cases no transfer tax is owed. The county recording fee is estimated at $50 and varies by county. Same-day e-recording is $50. You can sign by remote online notarization with our Las Vegas partner’s registered Nevada online notary for $25 per signature.
Yes, but the divorce decree alone does not do it. Until a new deed is recorded, the county index still shows both names, and a lender or buyer reads the index rather than the decree. A deed carrying out the decree is usually exempt from transfer tax. $250.
Usually yes. A quitclaim moves whatever interest you hold into both names, which is what most married couples want. Transfers between spouses are among the exemptions Nevada recognises. We explain how a quitclaim differs from a grant, bargain and sale deed so you can direct which one we prepare.
It depends on how title was held. If your parent recorded a deed upon death, the property passes to the named beneficiary once a death of grantor affidavit is recorded. If the property was held in joint tenancy, an affidavit of death of joint tenant clears the record. If neither applies, the estate may need to go through probate. Call and we will explain what each of these documents does.
If the house is in your name alone and there is no deed upon death and no trust holding it, it generally goes through probate before anyone inherits it. A Deed Upon Death is recorded while you are alive, costs $250 to prepare, leaves you in full control, and can be revoked at any time.
No. TruPoint is a registered and bonded Nevada Document Preparation Service and prepares the document at your direction. What we cannot do is tell you which instrument to choose for your situation, because that is legal advice.
The cost is driven by the transfer tax rather than the paperwork. Transfers between spouses, from parent to child, and into your own trust are among the exemptions Nevada recognises, and an exemption claimed correctly on the Declaration of Value can save far more than the preparation fee. Our fee is $250 either way.
Sometimes. A change in the form a business holds property, where the ownership stays identical, is among the exemptions Nevada recognises. A genuine change of ownership is not, and the exemption does not apply where the entity was formed to avoid the tax. An entity deed is $300.
A correction deed fixes an error in a deed that is already recorded, such as a misspelled name, a wrong middle initial or a defective legal description. It is $300 and includes the Declaration of Value. Leaving the error in place can stall a sale or a refinance years later.
Most deeds are drafted within one business day of receiving your facts. Once signed and notarized we submit electronically to Douglas County the same day. The county then completes recording on its own schedule, typically the same day to about three business days.
Yes. Intake, document review and electronic recording are all handled remotely, and you sign by remote online notarization with our Las Vegas partner’s registered Nevada online notary ($25 per signature). Second-home and out-of-state owners are a routine part of our Douglas County work and pay exactly the same $250.
Yes. We retrieve the last recorded transfer for $30 so the legal description and the current vesting on your new deed match the county record exactly. Working from an old or remembered description is one of the most common reasons a deed is rejected.
A trust does not hold your house until a deed transfers it into the trust. That funding deed is $250. If you do not have a trust yet, TruPoint prepares living trusts from $950 with the funding deed as a separate item.
A rejected deed usually comes back weeks later, often after a closing or refinance date has passed, and the transfer has to start over. TruPoint prepares your deed and the Declaration of Value to what the county requires and submits it electronically the same day, from $250.
A standard Douglas County deed is $250 to prepare with the Declaration of Value included ($400 for a deed in a sale), plus an estimated $50 county recording fee that varies by county, plus $50 for same-day e-recording. Remote online notarization through our Las Vegas partner is $25 per signature. Transfer tax of $1.95 per $500 of value applies unless an exemption is claimed. You get the full number in writing before you commit.
Yes. Quinnie is a native English and Vietnamese speaker and handles the entire matter in either language.
