Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
when transferring a deed from a trust, can just one person that is in the trust sign? or do all the people on the trust deed need to sign?

Partially, it depends on what the trust says. They often require both signatures. If it is a communtity property issue, half of the property might be transferable by one party, but not the entire property. Would need much more info to give a thorough answer.
Probably requires all trustees' signatures.
in order to answer this question, the trust agreement and all amendments need to be reviewed.
The trustee is the party who signs a deed that transfers property out of a trust. You use the term "trust deed" which is California's financing instrument, commonly called by lay people a "mortgage." I assume that you are transferring property out of a trust, using a deed. The trustee, or all trustees if there is more than one, are the proper people to transfer property out of a trust. If you meant "trust deed" or "deed of trust" the financing instrument, then you need to repost and clarify.
