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 Fernley, Dayton, Silver Springs or Yerington 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 Fernley, Dayton, Yerington 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.

Transferring property in Lyon County — what it takes and what it costs.
To record a deed in Lyon County, Nevada, the signed and notarized deed and a completed Declaration of Value are submitted to the county recorder in Yerington. As of 2026 the recording fee is $43 per 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 Lyon County the same day the document is signed.
Lyon County is three markets that share one Recorder. Fernley sits on Interstate 80 in the north and has grown fastest. Dayton and Mound House run along Highway 50 toward Carson City. Silver Springs and Stagecoach fill the middle, and Yerington — the county seat, where the Recorder’s counter actually is — sits well to the south in Mason Valley. A Fernley owner is roughly an hour from that counter, and a Dayton owner is not much closer.
That geography is the practical problem with recording a Lyon County deed in person. Recording in person happens on weekdays only. For most of the county’s population that means taking half a working day to hand over a document, and repeating the trip if anything on it is wrong. Electronic recording removes the drive entirely.
One current detail is worth knowing before you prepare anything. The Nevada Tax Commission approved a new Declaration of Value form, and as of January 1, 2026 the Lyon County Recorder accepts only the new version. A deed submitted with the superseded form is a processing-delay risk, and the county has said so on its own website. The form must also be completed so the parcel number matches the deed exactly.
Lyon County sits at the statewide base transfer-tax rate. On a $500,000 transfer that is $1,950, against $2,550 for the same property in Clark County. The rate is the same whether you record over the counter or electronically, and several family and trust transfers fall into categories Nevada recognises as exempt.
Fernley, Dayton, Silver Springs and Mason Valley.
Divorce just finalised
The decree says the Fernley house is yours. Until a deed is recorded, the Recorder 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 Dayton home. Often exempt from transfer tax when the exemption is claimed correctly on the Declaration of Value.
Passing land to your children
Parent to child is one of Nevada’s recognised exemptions — and it matters on Mason Valley acreage held in the family for decades.
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, and we prepare living trusts and funding deeds for Mason Valley, Smith Valley and Yerington owners remotely.
Landlords and investors
Fernley’s rental stock has grown with the warehouse corridor. Moving a rental into an LLC separates the property from your personal assets.
An hour from the counter
You are in Fernley or Dayton and the Recorder is in Yerington. Intake and recording handled remotely, and you sign before a notary near you — no drive, no half day lost.
What Lyon 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. County charges can change — we confirm the exact amount at intake and pass it through at cost.
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 for recording at our cost.
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 Recorder’s requirements and the fees at no charge, whether or not you hire us.
One fee. The county’s charges shown separately.
Lyon County sits at the statewide base.
Nevada’s Real Property Transfer Tax has a statewide base of $1.95 per $500 of value, and Lyon County adds nothing to it. Clark reaches $2.55 and Washoe and Churchill each sit at $2.05, so the same transfer costs less to record in Fernley or Dayton than in Reno or Las Vegas. 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 the county typically completes recording within the same day to three business days.

What Fernley and Dayton 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 $43. 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 Lyon 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 before any notary near you. Out-of-state owners are a routine part of our Lyon 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 $695 with the funding deed as a separate item.
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 Lyon County deed is $250 to prepare with the Declaration of Value included ($325 for a deed in a sale), plus $43 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.
