Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

My elderly mom owns a few acres of undeveloped land in Ocean Springs MS. A few years ago, mom signed a quick claim type deed putting the land into her living trust but the actual title to land was never changed. The title to the land remains in both my parents name (joint with rights of survivorship). (My dad passed ten years ago.)

Two questions.

Does her signing the quick claim effectively mean that legal title to the land actually belongs to the Trust?

If I have her durable POA, does the title to the land have to be changed before it's sold?

You ned to talk to an attorney in Ocean Springs, MS. California law doesn't matter. You might also consult a title company to assure exactly the status of title.
