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 Caliente, Pioche or Alamo 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 near home
Any notary near you, in Caliente, Pioche, Alamo or wherever you live. Scan or photograph the signed pages back to us.
5. Recorded and returned
Submitted electronically the same day it reaches us, and the recorded copy comes back to you by email.

Meet Quinnie Do
Quinnie founded TruPoint and leads a small team of document preparers working under the firm’s Nevada Document Preparation Service registration. The registration is issued by the Nevada Secretary of State and backed by a bond that protects clients. Every Lincoln County deed TruPoint prepares is drafted at the client’s direction, formatted to the county’s standards, and submitted electronically the day it is signed.
Quinnie is a native English and Vietnamese speaker, an IRS-registered tax return preparer and Certifying Acceptance Agent. TruPoint works with Lincoln County owners the same way it works with owners in Las Vegas: intake by phone or online, signing before a local notary, and the recorded document returned without anyone driving to Pioche.
Transferring property in Lincoln County — what it takes and what it costs.
To record a deed in Lincoln County, Nevada, the signed and notarized deed and a completed Declaration of Value are submitted to the county recorder in Pioche. The county charges $37 per standard document and Real Property Transfer Tax of $1.95 per $500 of value — published locally as $3.90 per $1,000 — unless an exemption is claimed on the Declaration of Value. TruPoint prepares the deed and the Declaration of Value for $250, provides signing instructions for your local notary, and submits the document electronically the same day it is signed.
Lincoln County covers more than ten thousand square miles and holds fewer than five thousand people, which makes it one of the emptiest large counties in the United States. Pioche is the county seat, up in the hills. Caliente sits on the Union Pacific line below it, Panaca and Ursine lie east toward the Utah line, and the Pahranagat Valley towns of Alamo and Hiko sit far to the south — closer to Las Vegas than to their own courthouse. Rachel sits out on the Extraterrestrial Highway with almost nothing between.
That shape is the practical problem with recording in person. An Alamo owner faces a round trip of well over two hundred miles to hand a document across a counter, and the same trip again if it comes back rejected. A great many Lincoln County parcels are also owned by people who live in Las Vegas or out of state entirely and have no intention of making that drive at all.
Lincoln County accepts electronic recording through Simplifile, and TruPoint submits through that channel. The document is scanned, transmitted and indexed without anyone standing at a counter, and the recorded copy comes back electronically.
Two current details matter before you prepare anything. The Nevada Tax Commission approved a new Declaration of Value form after the 2025 legislative session, and since 1 January 2026 only the new form is accepted — a deed submitted with the old one is returned. And Lincoln County can charge an additional $25 for a document that does not meet Nevada’s formatting standard, on top of the ordinary fee. Getting the page layout right is not cosmetic; it is money.
Pioche, Caliente, Panaca and the Pahranagat Valley.
Divorce just finalised
The decree says the house is yours. Until a deed is recorded, the county index still shows both names, and a lender or buyer reads the index, not the decree.
Adding a spouse to title
Newly married and want both names on the property. Often exempt from transfer tax when the exemption is claimed correctly on the Declaration of Value.
Passing ranch ground to your children
Parent to child is one of Nevada’s recognised exemptions — and on Pahranagat Valley acreage held for generations, claiming it correctly matters.
A trust that owns nothing
Someone drafted the trust but nobody recorded the deed. The funding deed is the step that actually puts the property inside it.
Las Vegas owners with Lincoln County land
Alamo and Hiko are closer to Las Vegas than to Pioche. You do not have to drive north to move title on a parcel you already own.
Out-of-state and recreational owners
Desert acreage, a cabin, an inherited lot you have never seen. Intake and recording are handled without a trip to Nevada.
What Lincoln County charges, on top of our fee.
These are the county’s own charges, collected when your deed records. They are passed through at cost and are never part of our preparation fee. A deed missing the parcel number, the grantee’s mailing address or the tax-statement address comes back unrecorded, which is the delay we exist to prevent.
You can do it yourself. Here is what it costs when it goes wrong.
Nevada does not require an attorney or a document preparer to record a deed. What is worth knowing is what a mistake costs. 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 at no additional charge.
If you would rather talk it through first, book a consultation or call (877) 221-8386. We answer questions about the process, the documents, the county’s requirements and the transfer tax whether or not you hire us.
One fee. The county’s charges shown separately.
Lincoln County sits at the statewide base.
Nevada’s Real Property Transfer Tax has a statewide base of $1.95 per $500 of value, and Lincoln County adds no local increment — unlike Clark County at $2.55, or Washoe and Churchill Counties at $2.05. Lincoln publishes the same rate as $3.90 per $1,000, which is the identical figure expressed differently. On a $200,000 transfer that is roughly $780 if no exemption applies. Nevada recognises a number of exemptions, and several are ordinary family situations: a transfer between spouses or carrying out a divorce decree, a transfer from a parent to a child or a grandparent to a grandchild, a transfer into or out of a trust without consideration with a certificate of trust present, a change in the form a business holds property where the ownership stays identical, a transfer between joint tenants or tenants in common without consideration, and a deed upon death taking effect at death. The exemption is claimed by number on the Declaration of Value with a stated reason. We explain which exemptions exist and what the county asks for; the decision is yours to direct.
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 the county completes recording on its own schedule, typically the same day to about three business days.

What Pioche and Caliente 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. You still pay the county recording fee of $37. Same-day e-recording is $50, and you sign before any notary near you.
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 tell you which situation you are in.
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. Nevada does not require an attorney to prepare or record a deed. 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 Lincoln County the same day. The county then completes recording on its own schedule, typically the same day to about three business days.
No. Intake is by phone or online, you sign before any notary near you, and the document is submitted electronically, so the round trip to Pioche is not needed. Owners in the Pahranagat Valley are a routine part of our work.
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 property until a deed transfers it into the trust. That funding deed is $250. Transfers into a trust without consideration, with a certificate of trust present, are among the recognised exemptions. If you do not have a trust yet, TruPoint prepares living trusts from $695.
A generic form often is not. Nevada deeds must carry the parcel number, the mailing address of the grantee and the address for the tax statement, and must record with a completed Declaration of Value. Most rejected deeds we see were downloaded templates missing one of those. We prepare the document to what the county requires.
A standard Lincoln County deed is $250 to prepare with the Declaration of Value included ($325 for a deed in a sale), plus $37 to the county, plus $50 if you want same-day e-recording. You pay your local notary directly. 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.
