Quit Claim Deed in Living Trust- Texas



"Kenster"
4/11/2005 9:34:40 PM


My father-in-law's estate was placed into a Living Trust several years
ago. My wife is the sole heir, as well as successor trustee and
executor. In the trust, there are Quit Claim deeds conveying two
pieces of property (one containing his home) to the trust.
How do we go about changing the title of the property to my wife's
name? My father-in-law insisted that the trust contained everything we
would need in order to avoid lawyers. We asked at the Court House but
the lady said she could not tell us what we needed to do. When we
transfered title to his car, it was as simple as signing an "Affidavit
of Heirship." Anything that simple to re-title real estate?

Assuming your father-in-law has died, your wife is now the trustee.
She can execute a quite claim deed from herself as trustee of the
trust to herself as beneficiary.

It might be worth reading the cover letter from the lawyer who
prepared the trust. If not, a phone call to the lawyer might not be a
bad idea.
