I live in California, already paid off the loan of my house & got a letter "Substitution of Trustee & Full Reconveyance". Why did I get this letter?
trustee
In some states a mortgagor conveys the property to a trustee to hold title while the mortgage is outstanding. Reconveyence is the process by which a title to a property is returned to the owner on her request upon the fulfillment of conditions for which such title was assigned to the trustee. The document used to convey the title back to the owner is a reconveyance deed.
Substitution of trustee is a legal process where the current trustee of a trust is replaced with a new trustee. This can be done for various reasons, such as the original trustee resigning, becoming incapacitated, or being removed due to misconduct. The new trustee assumes all the duties and responsibilities of the former trustee.
A deed of trust is the form for a mortgage in some states. Only the original parties to the transaction can amend it. Amending a deed of trust may require a reconveyance by the trustee.A deed of trust is the form for a mortgage in some states. Only the original parties to the transaction can amend it.

A recorded document which gives notice that the loan secured by the identified deed of trust has been paid in full.
In writing, ask the trustee for a full accounting of the trust's activity. By law you are entitled to these documents from the trustee when requested.
No. The trustee has full control over the assets in the trust. In a 'blind trust' the trustee must be completely independent. If the beneficiary is the trustee then the trustee is not completely independent.
To determine the address of a property you should check the records at the tax assessor's office.

There actually is no difference. A Private Transfer Fee Covenant is a Reconveyance Fee Instrument.
Your mortgage contract has a clause like this:23. Reconveyance: Upon payment of all sums secured by this Security Instrument, Lender shall request Trustee to reconvey the Property and shall surrender this Security Instrument and all notes evidencing debt secured by this Security Instrument to Trustee. Trustee shall reconvey the Property without warranty to the person or persons legally entitled to it.When the mortgage originator sold your note did he do his duty and request the Trustee to reconvey the Property and surrender this Security Instrument and all notes evidencing debt secured by this Security Instrument to Trustee?I don't think so!This is a black and white breach of contract.
It is important to hire the services of the real estate lawyers before filing a deed of reconveyance in California. They understand the law on the same and will be able to offer the best advice.
