Went in for my passport application (already made appointment online). In and out in less than 10 minutes and everyone was very nice. I even had my photos taken on-site. For first time passport, make sure to bring your DS-11 filled (but do not sign). Personal check is accepted to pay for U.S Department of State, also with cashiers check or money order. You can pay the library processing and photo fees with cards which is so helpful. Before deciding to go here for my passport, I looked for appointments at USPS and many other places. All are booked out for at least a month or more, or I’d have to drive 50 miles out of Sacramento to get to a less busy office. I am so glad I did it here. Highly recommended. Just come prepared.

Submitted passport documents here. Appointment was on time, very quick and easy. Accidentally noted that we would bring passport photos when we didn't have them, but she was able to take our pictures and print them immediately without an issue.

I’m needing help on a form I need to transfer my dead fathers property over to me but I don’t know what form I need! I’m doing this myself I don’t have a lawyer! Can anyone direct me to the right form

You should contact the law librarian by phone 916-874-6012. We can point you to the information to decide what form you need. A TOD deed is not used after the owner passes away, but there are forms that might apply, depending on how your father's current deed is worded.

You can start a case to establish who controls the person's remains. There is information on this in a book called "California Forms of Pleading and Practice" which is available at our library and most public law libraries in California. If you are not in Sacramento, check here for your nearest one: http://publiclawlibrary.org/law-libraries.htm

You can check with the court in the county where you or she lives, either by calling or looking the case up online in some counties. If you're in Sacramento County, you can look up your name at https://services.saccourt.ca.gov/PublicCaseAccess/Family/SearchByName (fee applies) or call 916-875-3400.

Hi Erick, there is not going to be a simple answer to your question. You're welcome to come in to the Law Library to do some research, but it sounds like you should talk to a lawyer. If you are a Sac county resident, we have a program at 5:10 pm Monday nights where you can be in a lottery for a 20 minute appointment with a volunteer attorney. It's very popular so you may not get an appointment, but you're welcome to try.

is a quitclaim deed valid with claim that it was given as a gift even though I did not write or sign it was a gift on the doc.. My spouse was the one who signed in the box and wrote it was a gift. I believe I signed the quitclaim deed under duress?

Ali Al jishi | Sep 13, 2019
Sacramento County Law Library | Sep 13, 2019

Hi, thanks for the question. Unfortunately no one at the law library is able to answer the kind of specific questions you are asking. You may want to come in and do some research on transfers of real estate and/or marital property law, but ultimately you will probably need to hire an attorney to help you understand your rights.

Can I get a Trust Transfer Deed form from you and assistance in completing it properly?

James Pardun | Sep 13, 2019
Sacramento County Public Law Library | Sep 13, 2019

It sounds like you're looking for a deed to transfer property into a trust, which can be done with a standard deed (grant deed or quitclaim deed). You can label it "Trust Transfer Deed" if you prefer, but a special label is not required. We have some forms and samples available at no charge on our website at saclaw.org/legal-forms. You'll need the info from your current deed to complete the new one, so pick up a copy at the Recorder's Office if you don't have one. If you come in we can show you books and samples, but we do not have anyone who can assist one-on-one.

What do i need to get a library card?

Janet love | Sep 13, 2018
John Meeker | Sep 13, 2018

Depends on whether you are an attorney who only needs to present a bar card. For nonattorneys you have to leave a deposit to check books out. You don't have to make any deposit just to do research in the law library.
