Public Trustee

In Colorado, a government office created by statute for the purpose of releasing deeds of trust and administering foreclosure proceedings related to deeds of trust. There is a trustee for each county in the state and a given county public trustee handles all releases and foreclosure proceedings related to properties located in the county. In other states, these duties are handled by a private trustee (e.g., a title company).
