how do you transfer property into a trust

[SanBarrett]

To transfer property into a trust, you must first create and execute the trust document, then prepare a new deed (like a quitclaim, grant, or warranty deed) that names the trust as the new owner. After the deed is signed and notarized, record it with the county recorder's office to make the ownership change official. It's crucial to then update your homeowner's insurance and inform your mortgage lender and any relevant taxing authorities of the title change.
