Re: Revocable Trusts

File a new deed.

Re: Revocable Trusts

The current owner(s), including spouse if married and it is homestead, would need to sign and record a new deed to transfer ownership to the trust. The deed should normally be a warranty deed and should clearly state who the trustees and the successor trustees are. It is always best to seek the assistance of a knowlegable attorney when changing the title to real property. Once a deed is recorded, it can be difficult, or sometimes impossible, to clear up any error.

Re: Revocable Trusts

You need the trust documents, of course, and a deed that transfers the property into the trust. If the property is the major asset to be held in trust you might consider an enhanced life estate deed instead of the trust. With important issues of estate planning I suggest you consult with an attorney to review all your options.
