You should contact the attorney who drafted the trust for you. Deeds should always be drafted by a professional especially deeds from a trustee. Errors made by non-professionals can be extremely costly to correct.

Can beneficiary of trust tell a trustee what to do?
They most certainly may not! The entire purpose of the trust is to prevent the beneficiary from controlling the trust. The responsibility lies with the trustee to maintain the trust as it was set up. Actually, it depends on what kind of a trust is involved. For example, a Land Trust is beneficiary driven....meaning the beneficiary tells the Trustee what to do by letter of direction. Most all other types of trusts are Trustee driven and decisions are made by the Trustee. Randy Hughes

What is an irrivocable trust?
Revocable TrustsA revocable trust is one where usually, grantor/trustee/beneficiary are the same person. It can be revoked or amended any time until the person's death.Upon death the trust property bypasses probate and assets are distributed to the heirs.ClarificationA trust is a right to hold property for the benefit of another. A trustor (grantor, settlor) creates the trust, places the trust property (land, money, stocks, etc.) in the trust and names both the trustee who will hold power over the trust property and the beneficiaries. A revocable trust can be amended or revoked by the trustor at any time during her life. Be careful with that first statement in the first answer. It is not the definition of a revocable trust. In fact, it is a common trust error. In many states where the grantor, trustee and beneficiary are the same person there is no trust created and the property remains in the grantor's estate. That error can cause serious consequences down the road.
Can trustee be a beneficiary in a land trust?
A person should not be the sole trustee and the sole beneficiary. That arrangement may not constitute a valid trust and the trust property would be vulnerable to creditors and taxes.Trust law is one of the most complex areas of law. Many trusts drafted by lawyers are invalid. More trusts drafted by non-legal-professionals (such as accountants) or created by fill-in forms (purchased online) are invalid. You should always have a trust drafted by a local attorney who specializes in trust and tax law in your jurisdiction and who has a good reputation.The short answer is yes, but you would never want to do this. In a Land Trust situation you would be giving up the anonymity benefits AND a judge reviewing the trust would invalidate it because of a "merging of interests" between the Trustee and Beneficiary.Randy Hughes

Who is the trustee in a Deed of Trust?
A deed of trust is a deed that transfers ownership of real estate to a trust.Suppose William owns land and wants to transfer it to a trust in order to remove it from his individual ownership. William must have a trust drafted by an attorney and could name it the William's Family Trust. All the legally necessary provisions of the trust would be set forth in the trust document and a trustee would need to be appointed. Suppose the named trustee is Judith.William must transfer his land to the trust by executing a 'deed of trust' that names as the grantee Judith, as the trustee of the William's Family Trust. The grantee in a 'deed of trust' must be the trustee named in the trust document.A trustee's deed is a deed that transfers land from a trust. It must be executed by the trustee in office at the time of the transfer. Therefore, if the William's Family Trust decides to sell that property to Harry, the trustee's deed would recite Judith, as trustee of the William's Family Trust as the grantor, and Harry as the grantee.
How do you remove a trust from a deed?

How to record ownership in trust?
Land is conveyed to a trust by virtue of a deed that transfers the title to the land to the trustee(s) of the trust. In some jurisdictions a trust that holds title to real estate must be recorded in the land records. In some jurisdictions the only evidence of the trust required is a certificate at the time of a conveyance by the trustee that the trust is in effect and that the trustee has the authority to convey the real estate. The trustee holds legal title to any real estate conveyed to the trust. Therefore any property conveyed to the trust should be granted as follows: to Sheila McCarthy as the Trustee of the Rexford Realty Trust under a Declaration of Trust dated June 6, 2008.
Will the title be on your name using a deed of trust?
When land is transferred to a trust the grantee is the trustee of the trust. For example, suppose the Murphys decided to execute a trust naming their daughter Elizabeth as the trustee. If they wish to transfer their home to the trust they would need to convey it to Elizabeth Murphy as Trustee of the Murphy Family Trust.
Can an executor of a trust transfer land without the approval of all name in the trust?
First of all, there is no "executor" of a trust even if the trust was created in a will. The administrator of the trust is a "trustee". Second, the answer most likely lies in the trust document itself. The terms of the trust will usually spell out the powers of the trustee. If the trust gives the trustee full power to sell property at his/her own discretion, as many trusts do, then the trustee can sell land without the beneficiaries' approval. If the trust does not spell out the trustee's powers, then you look to the laws of the state where the trust was created. Every state has laws that specify what trustees can and cannot do if the trust does not so specify. Some states give trustees full power to sell without interference from beneficiaries. Some states require the trustee to ask for court permission to sell land. When they go to court for this, the beneficiaries may object and the court will decide if the sale is proper or not.
