If done correctly there shouldn't be. If done incorrectly there could be. You will find out as soon as someone examining title takes a look.

If you did not use a qualified Florida Estate Planning Attorney to deed the property into the Trust, I can almost bet you will have an issue to contend with. Specifically F.S. 689.071. Fortunately it is correctable, but with a recording cost.
