You will need a deed drafted and recorded to accomplish the transfer. I would recommend that you have an attorney prepare the deed and file it for you.

You need to prepare and file a new deed to transfer the house into the trust. It is easiest to get an attorney to do it and fairly inexpensive as it is a simple process to get it done. If you have further questions, please contact my office at http://www.socrateslegal.com.
