Your trust does not hold your Las Vegas home until the deed is recorded.
Signing a living trust does not move the house into it. A separate deed has to name the trust as owner and be recorded with Clark County, or the property still goes through probate. We prepare the funding deed and the Declaration of Value for $250 plus the $42 county fee, claim the exemption so no transfer tax is owed, and submit it the same day you sign.
- Trust-funding deed with Declaration of Value — $250
- Transfer into your own trust is exempt from transfer tax
- Sign before any notary, in Las Vegas or out of state
- Written quote before anything is drafted
Funding a Nevada living trust with your home — what it costs and why it matters.
A living trust only controls the assets that have been put inside it. For a Las Vegas home, that means recording a deed that transfers the property from you as an individual to yourself as trustee of the trust, together with a completed Declaration of Value. A transfer into or out of a trust without consideration, with a certificate of trust available, is among the exemptions Nevada recognizes, so no Real Property Transfer Tax is owed. TruPoint prepares the funding deed and the Declaration of Value for $250 plus the $42 Clark County recording fee, and submits it electronically the same day it is signed. Clark County typically completes recording within the same day to three business days.
This is the step most often missed. Families pay for a trust, file it away, and the house is never deeded in. When the owner dies, that property is outside the trust and the family goes through the Nevada court process anyway — months of time and far more cost than the deed would have been.
The trust exists. The house is still in your own name.
You signed a trust years ago and nothing was deeded
Check the last recorded deed. If it names you personally rather than you as trustee, the Las Vegas property is not in the trust, whatever the trust document says.
You refinanced and the lender took it out
Lenders routinely require the property back in your personal name to close, and nobody deeds it back afterwards. This is the most common way a funded trust quietly becomes unfunded.
You bought a Las Vegas home after the trust was written
Anything bought later has to be deeded in separately. The trust does not sweep up new purchases on its own.
Your trust was written in California
Plenty of families have a California trust and a Nevada property. The trust is still valid; the Nevada home needs a Nevada deed naming the trust, prepared here.
You are the successor trustee and the record still shows the person who died
When the owner has already passed, an affidavit of successor trustee puts you on the record. That is a different document, and we prepare it for $250.
You do not have a trust yet
We prepare the trust and the funding deed together, so the document and the property match from day one instead of years later.
What happens after you send the intake form, step by step.
1. Send your details
Complete the intake form in about ten minutes. Give us the property and the exact name and date of the trust, as it reads on the first page of the trust document.
2. Written quote first
We read the intake, check the last recorded deed against the trust name, then send a written disclosure, a written contract naming the total, and one payment link. Nothing is drafted until you approve it.
3. We draft it
We prepare the deed transferring the property to you as trustee, complete the Declaration of Value, claim the trust exemption so no transfer tax is owed, and email everything with plain signing instructions.
4. You sign
Sign before any notary — in Las Vegas, Henderson, or wherever you live — then scan or photograph the signed pages back to us.
5. Recorded and returned
We submit electronically to Clark County the same day it reaches us. The county typically completes recording within the same day to three business days, and the recorded copy comes back by email to keep with the trust.

What Las Vegas homeowners actually ask, answered plainly.
A deed transferring the property from you as an individual to yourself as trustee has to be recorded with Clark County, along with a completed Declaration of Value. We prepare both for $250 plus the $42 county fee and submit them the same day you sign.
No. A transfer into or out of a trust without consideration is among the exemptions Nevada recognizes, so the $2.55 per $500 Clark County transfer tax is not owed when the exemption is claimed on the Declaration of Value. We claim it as part of the $250.
Look at the last recorded deed. If the owner reads as your own name, the property is not in the trust, whatever the trust document says. If you cannot find the deed we retrieve it for $30 and read the vesting for you.
That property is outside the trust, so it goes through the Nevada court process anyway, which takes months and costs far more than a deed. Recording the funding deed now for $250 is what avoids it.
Yes, and this is the most common reason a trust quietly stops holding the home. A deed back into the trust is $250 plus the $42 county fee, exempt from transfer tax, and submitted the same day you sign.
Yes. The trust stays valid; the Nevada property simply needs a Nevada deed naming that trust as owner, prepared and recorded here for $250 plus the county fee.
No. We need the exact trust name and date as it reads on the first page. If a lender or title company asks for proof of the trust later, a certificate of trust is $200 and shows what they need without exposing the entire document.
The deed and the loan are separate, and the borrower stays responsible either way. What your specific loan permits is a question for your lender, and tax questions belong with your accountant. We prepare the document; we do not advise on either.
Most deeds are drafted within one business day of your approved quote. We submit electronically the same day your signed copy reaches us, and Clark County typically completes recording within the same day to three business days.
Yes. Sign before any notary where you live and scan the pages back. Intake, drafting and electronic submission are handled remotely, at the same $250 plus the $42 county fee.
No. Nevada does not require an attorney to prepare or record a deed. TruPoint is registered and bonded and prepares the document at your direction for $250. Whether a trust is right for your family is legal advice, and for that you would speak with an attorney.
A template can be valid and still be rejected. Clark County requires the assessor’s parcel number, the grantee’s mailing address, the address for the tax statement and a completed Declaration of Value, and the trust name and date must be exact. Most rejected deeds we see came from downloaded forms.
$250 preparation plus the $42 Clark County recording fee, so $292, with $50 more for same-day submission and $15 if you use our partner notary. No transfer tax is owed on a transfer into your own trust.
Each property needs its own deed and Declaration of Value at $250 each, plus $42 per recording. Send them together on one intake and they are drafted, quoted and submitted as a batch.
Yes. A Nevada living trust starts from $695 and we prepare the funding deed with it, so the document and the property match from the start rather than years later.
Yes. Quinnie is a native English and Vietnamese speaker, so intake, questions and signing instructions can all be handled in either language. Spanish is available through a partner.
