You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If I understand your question properly, it sounds as if she wants to assign her Promissory Note and Mortgage to her Revocable Living Trust. She should hire an attorney to make sure that this is done correctly for a nominal sum. Frankly, she can be pennywise and pound foolish by trying to do this on her own. It will cost many more dollars for an attorney to have to undue the damage done by an improperly drafted assignment.
