The Office of the Public Trustee is a financially autonomous agency providing deeds of trust oversight services for property owners within the county.

The office is committed to helping property owners understand Colorado laws and their rights regarding releases of Deeds of Trust, as well as foreclosure processes and serves as a liaison between property owners and lenders.

“Douglas County is my home and I have watched it grow into a vibrant community,” said Kennedy.  “Over the years it has not lost that special quality and remains a great place to raise a family or just enjoy being a resident,” he said.

George enjoys spending time with his family, especially watching his grandkids, playing golf or just catching up with friends.
