Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Arizona
My mom's house is in Arizona and is paid off. She is the title holder and husband is deceased. She wants to add her son's name to the deed of trust so that if she passes, it can avoid probate. How do you accomplish this.

You do not add someone's name to the deed of trust. She would make a new deed from her, as grantor, to herself and her son as grantees, and joint tenants with right of survivorship.

A beneficiary deed passes real property on death. Your mother must sign the the beneficiary deed and record it in the county where the property is located. If you want us to prepare the deed for her signature, please call Stephanie Coulter of this office at 602 462 1004 to make arrangements to have the deed prepared.
