Actually you could do this yourself, execute a deed of trust have it notarized and note then take it to the recorder's office, but really, you should go to another attorney.Your sale contract most likely is a cash sale and the closing company/title company must close it as a cash transaction, that means they can't close it with a purchase money note and deed of trust.Execute your deed and note after the sale, you need to ensure the closing is recorded before you file your DOT.One good reason for you to do this is because people die and the note and DOT resolves estate issues, it is the proper thing to do.BTW, note and DOT or mortgage, which ever is used, basically shows the debt and encumbrance on the property. :)

Read the California Landlord Tenant laws to make sure you're doing all that they suggest you do - but ultimately, if he won't share this information with you, send it to the last known address and then when it is returned, hold it in your files.

If the Broker doesn't respond, contact the state commission and file a complaint with them.
