Re: Deed in Trust
The deed in trust could be in connection with a land trust in which case the title holder will be a trust company. If the grantor is deceased, the terms of the trust take effect. It will be necessary to get a copy of the land trust agreement to determine the beneficiaries under the trust. The trustee of a deed in trust could also be a mortgage company which is holding the deed, until the mortgage company is paid in full. Will be happy to discuss this further and in more detail.
