Abstract Property (the “Property”). Based on my review of the Commitment and the Preliminary Plat, I have the following comments regarding the minor subdivision application: 1. Ownership Interests. According to the Commitment, the owners of the Property are: John A. Berschens or successor, as Trustee of the John A. Berschens Trust under Trust Agreement dated January 22, 2010 (an undivided 1/2 interest), and Janet M. Berschens or successor, as Trustee of the Janet M. Berschens Trust under Trust Agreement dated January 22, 2010 (an undivided 1/2 interest). a. The Final Plat must be executed with all the formalities of a deed of title. We have not yet received from the Applicants a Certificate of Trust for either the Janet M. Berschens Trust under Trust Agreement dated January 22, 2010, or the John A. Berschens Trust under Trust Agreement dated January 22, 2010. The Application is made by Jean Berschens and Janet Berschens, as trustees. Certain Certificate of Trust and Affidavit of Trustee documents filed in 2014 in Washington County Property Records indicate that Janet M. Berschens is the authorized trustee of the Janet M. Berschens Trust and that Jean Berschens is the authorized trustee of the John A. Berschens Trust. We require any updated Certificate of Trusts for each above-named trust, if available, in order to determine if the Applicants are authorized to act under the respective trusts, and who must sign to complete the minor subdivision and sign a Final Plat on behalf of each trust. Jean Berschens, as Trustee for the fee owner John A. Berschens Trust under Trust Agreement
