Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: What do I fill in after ''quitclaim to'' to transfer house to our living trust?

In your trust, there should be something indicating how assets should be vested. That language - often something to the effect "John Doe, Trustee of the John Doe Trusted dated 11/03/08" is unique. DO NOT use the language above - the vesting for any given trust is very specific and unique to the trust, and if you make a mistake, you not only don't have the property in your trust, you have a wild deed in your chain of title that will have to be insured around in the future. Call whomever drafted your trust if you cannot find the language to get the exact vesting - be extremely precise as deeds are routinely messed up by those who are not familiar with how precise they must be, and you won't usually discover it until it is too late and someone is deceased and can no longer sign new documents.
