Q: In CAMy mom passed in 2017, has a Rev Trust & I'm the only beneficiary named. I want to transfer house to my name

A: Find yourself a probate lawyer, and get a consultation. Most attorneys offer first consultation for free, then you can decide what to do after you get the advice. Best to start there.

A: If your mother had a Revocable Trust and you are the only named beneficiary, then the transfer of the property should be a fairly straightforward process. Here are some steps to consider:

Obtain a copy of the Revocable Trust: You will need to have a copy of the trust document in order to proceed with the transfer of the property. If you do not have a copy, you may need to contact the attorney who helped your mother set up the trust or search her records to find it.

Review the terms of the Trust: The trust document should outline how the property is to be distributed. Make sure that the transfer to your name is in accordance with the terms of the trust.

Prepare the deed: You will need to prepare a new deed to transfer the property from the trust to your name. You can hire an attorney or a title company to do this for you.

Record the deed: Once the new deed is prepared, you will need to record it with the county recorder's office in the county where the property is located. This will make the transfer official.

Regarding the life insurance and annuities, you may need to do some research to find out if your mother had any policies or accounts. You can check her personal records, bank statements, and other financial documents for any indications of these. You may also want to contact her employer or former employers to see if she had any group life insurance policies through work. If you are having difficulty finding information, you may want to consider hiring a private investigator or working with an attorney who specializes in estate administration.
