Living Trust for Real Estate: Protecting Your Property

2024-10-077 min read

Real estate is often a family's largest asset. A living trust ensures your property transfers smoothly to your beneficiaries.

Why Put Real Estate in a Trust?

Avoid Probate

Real estate must go through probate if not in a trust. Probate can take months or years.

Multiple State Properties

If you own property in different states, each property could require separate probate proceedings.

Quick Transfer

Property in a trust transfers to beneficiaries immediately upon your death.

How to Transfer Real Estate to a Trust

Step 1: Deed Preparation

A new deed transfers property from you individually to you as trustee.

Step 2: Recording

The new deed must be recorded with your county recorder's office.

Step 3: Insurance and Mortgage

Notify your insurance company and mortgage lender of the change.

Mortgage Considerations

Most mortgages allow transfers to living trusts without triggering the due-on-sale clause.
