Trust Transfer Deeds

A trust transfer deed is a legal device that transfers property that an individual owns into the trust he creates. Although ownership is transferred to the trust, the individual maintains control of the property and the ability to use it.

The steps involved in creating a trust transfer deed include:

• Identifying all real property you wish to transfer into the trust
• Reviewing local and state statutes to determine recording requirements
• Drafting a trust transfer deed for each piece of real property in accordance with state requirements
• Signing the deed and having it notarized
• Filing the deed at the recorder’s office in the county where the property is located

Quitclaim Deeds

In California, a quitclaim deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of real property. As implied by the name, the quitclaim allows the owner to quit his claim to the property. Often, spouses, parents, or grandparents use quitclaims when gifting property to an heir. Quitclaims are also used to add or remove a name from a deed.
