[quote=Noob]I own property outright, but want to transfer it to my family trust. I’m single and don’t have any dependants, but I want to avoid probate and use any assets I have after I die to fund family education grants.
What is the process for setting up a trust and transfering an asset into it. Is this something I can do myself without a lot of expense?
How do I get the name on the deed changed to the trust name?[/quote]
When we had our trust set up, it was a simple quick claim to transfer the house to the trust. We had it done as part of setting up the trust. (So the lawyer handled it.)
