Hopefully the attorney who drafted the trust is still available to advise you. If not, then please have the trust reviewed. Contact me directly.

The trust may have became irrevocable upon the death of your husband. That may prevent you from making the requested change.
There are many problems that can be created by adding your sons names to the deed. It can also cause serious tax problems.
