Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Revocable Living Will Trust Changes
I have a revocable living trust. I need to change the
address of the property in this trust as I am selling it
and purchasing another property. The attorney I had
prepare it has moved out of state. Could I get a legal
form and fill it out myself as to the change of address
on the property and do I have to have it notorized. I can
then attach it to the living trust I have on file.
Will appreciate an answer to this. Thank You

Re: Revocable Living Will Trust Changes
I would recommend you get another estate planning lawyer. While you might be able to amend the trust by yourself, you should establish a relationship with a lawyer that will be able to handle the trust's interests in the future. I would be happy to discuss this matter with you if you wish.
Re: Revocable Living Will Trust Changes
To properly transfer the new property to the living trust, you need to have a trust transfer deed drafted, executed, notarized and recorded. A mere change of address will not put the new property into the trust's ownership. If the new property is in California, I may be able to help you transfer it to the trust.
