Trust documents generally are not a part of the public record because only the trustee and the trust document are needed to launch trust administration.
In Arizona, your trust must abide by the following basic requirements: You must have a Grantor who manifests the intent to create a trust. There must be a Trustee with duties to perform. There must be designated Beneficiaries. The Sole Trustee cannot be the Sole Beneficiary.
How can I find out if someone has a trust? If you have legal access to the person's files and papers, look through them to see if there are any trust documents, or any references to a trust. Look for copies of deeds, bank or securities account statements that name a trust as the owner, or a Will that refers to a trust.
Also look for papers that name an attorney, and call the attorney to see if he or she has any record of a trust. You can also visit the County Clerk-Recorder's Office or contact the County Assessor's Office to see the title on real estate owned by the person to see if it is held in the name of a trust.

Trust Registration This process includes filing specific forms with the California Attorney General's Office, which can be supervised and executed in partnership with your trust attorney.
