It is a really bad idea to try and do your estate planning on line without providing your attorney all the information about your assets. If you properly created a living trust, than get what you pay for and discuss the handling of your assets with an attorney.

Without looking at the deeds-the 2 residences would go through probate.
You should discuss with your attorney the reason quit claim deeds were not prepared.
Some attorneys are reluctant to make the homestead in a trust.
