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?
A substitution of trustee is a legal document that replaces an existing trustee with a new one, typically in the context of a trust or a deed of trust regarding real estate. A full reconveyance is the process by which a lender formally releases their interest in a property after the borrower has paid off their mortgage, effectively transferring full ownership back to the borrower. Together, these documents are important in real estate transactions as they clarify ownership and the responsibilities of trustees.

No, substitution of trustee and termination of trustee are not the same. Substitution of trustee refers to the process of replacing one trustee with another while maintaining the trust's existence and terms. In contrast, termination of trustee involves ending the trustee's role and potentially dissolving the trust or redistributing its assets. Each process has different legal implications and outcomes for the trust and its beneficiaries.
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.
Replacing the trustee with another for some reason; maybe the trustee gets old and finds the job burdensome. There might be another trustee named in the document as authorized "..in the event first trustee resigns." I'm no lawyer, but I guess you could petition the court for a replacement trustee if you could prove the trustee was not following the lawful trust instructions or something.
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.
To determine the address of a property you should check the records at the tax assessor's office.
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.

There actually is no difference. A Private Transfer Fee Covenant is a Reconveyance Fee Instrument.
