I along with my husband are successor trustee's of his parents trust. Both are now deceased; one died 2009, the other 2010. What paperwork needs to be filed to transfer their homeinto our name/trust.
We have filed affidavit of deaths for both. Can we do this on our own or should be consult an attorney.
Thanks for your time.

Hi msemeit!

Welcome to forums!

It's always better to take the help of an attorney in order to get the property transferred into your trust.

What is the difference in signing a mortgage as "settlor" or as "trustee"

Hi Arlena,

The concept of trustee is important in case of a deed of trust. If the note is paid as agreed, then the trustee's job is to re-convey the property title to the borrower. If the borrower does not pay, the trustee holds the power of sale. However, I haven't heard about the term mortgage settlor.
