Q: How do I get the deed to our home transferred to my 20yo daughter that was part of her medical trust?
She has a medical trust and we got approval to make the purchase from the judge 11 years ago with the understanding that it would go to her when she was old enough. My wife and I were the trustees on her accounts. Her bank accounts have been signed over to her. My wife passed away 7 years ago and I do have a copy of the death certificate.
A: You will need a deed out of the trust to your daughter. You should consult with a real estate attorney to prepare the proper documents reflecting that you as the sole remaining trustee have authority to transfer the title, prepare and record an appropriate deed and prepare other documents to properly terminate the trust.
