Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Trust Property or not?

My husband's grandmother past away living a family trust. Does her bank account go into the trust as well even if it had a approved signer(aunt) on the account? or does the signer(aunt) keep the account? I dont know if the aunt was a joint owner of account or just a signer.

Re: Trust Property or not?

whether or not bank accounts are owned by the Trust or by a Joint Tenant with Right of Survivorship is dependent only on the signature card. If it shows as a trust, the money belongs to the trust. If it shows JTROS, it is JTROS.
