Correct Answer
A. A trustee's deed resulting from a nonjudicial foreclosure pursuant to Civil Code section 2924, or a deed of reconveyance
Detailed Explanation
Exceptions to the journal thumbprint requirement. Government Code section 8206(a)(2)(G) explicitly states that the thumbprint requirement 'shall not apply to a trustee's deed resulting from a decree of foreclosure or a nonjudicial foreclosure pursuant to Section 2924 of the Civil Code, nor to a deed of reconveyance.' All other real property documents and original powers of attorney do require a thumbprint.
