You are mixing your terms. A will provides instructions regarding the distribution of a person's estate after they have died. A will must be probated after the death of the testator.

A trust is not probated. It is created to hold title to property so the property is not included in a person's estate. It is created by a living person who then transfers their property to the trustee of the trust. A trust is then managed by trustee according to the provisions in the trust document.

A trust and a will are not the same. See related question link provided below.

After the original settler of the trust appointed two trustees then died can the two trustees appoint a third trustee?

Typically, the power to appoint a trustee would have been granted by the settlor in the trust instrument.

It is important to review the specific terms of the trust document to determine the trustees' authority in this situation.

Is it legal for the trustee of a never probated trust to change the title on a property from The Jane Doe Trust to the trustees name as his sole and separate property and then get a loan?

Your question still lacks detail. Trusts are not probated. if a trust is set up in a will and the testator has died the trustee has no power at all until the will has been probated. Banks have the title checked to make sure the person applying for the mortgage has legal title to the real property. The situation you describe just doesn't make sense. You can go to the land records office and review a copy of the mortgage. Check to see what the mortgagor cited as his/her source of title.

Do you probate living trust?

No, a living trust does not get "probated" the way a will is probated. Wills are probated, meaning proved, because the person who did the will is deceased and the witness to the will have to swear that that person did sign the will properly in their presence. The living trust is like a deed to a house. It is effective simply by its terms the the person who created it has set it up. While traditional probate is not required, some states provide that the trust should be filed with the probate court in order to have identifying documentation issued to the trustees.
