Deed to Trust | Additional Support for Downloadable Estate Plans
Available as additional support with the purchase of a DIY trust-based estate plan, to transfer real property to the trust.
If you own real property in the United States, and create a living trust as part of your estate plan, the real property needs to be owned by the trust. Transferring the real property to the trust needs to be done carefully and with great attention to detail. The cost of mistakes is high, possibly including increased property taxes for the remainder of the time you (or your family) own the property, incurring unnecessary transfer taxes or fees at the time of transfer, or even the possibility of the wrong person(s) ending up owning the property. Mistakes happen with deeds all the time. Thus it is critical to have a lawyer prepare any real property deeds. For some deeds, including deeds for real property located in states other than California, we use an experienced deed service.
