Best Answer

You need to check the document that created the trust to find your answer. All the provisions of a trust and the powers of the trustee are set forth in that trust document. It creates a self governing entity. The trustee can only perform the functions set forth in the declaration.

If the trustee has the power to sell real estate the trustee can execute a deed that conveys the property to a new owner. If there is no power in the trustee to transfer real estate explicitly recited in the trust document, then you will need to petition a court to issue a license to sell the real estate or reform the trust to include a power of sale.

How do you replace a Trustee of a living Trust?

AnswerYou must review the document that created the trust to determine how a trustee can be removed and how a replacement can be appointed. If that provision is missing from the trust then the matter must be brought before a court and a judge must make the necessary modifications to the trust. This is especially important when the trust owns real estate. All the powers of the trustees and the provisions for managing the trust must be set forth in the trust document in order to pass clear title when the trust property is sold or transferred. You should consult with an attorney who can review the trust and explain your options. Trusts should always be drafted by an attorney who specializes in trust law.

Can real estate that is deeded to an irrevocable trust be sold by the owner?

Absolutely not. The person who transferred the property to an irrevocable trust no longer owns the property. Their deed would be null and void. The trust can sell the property as long as that power was granted to the trustee in the Declaration of Trust. For an effective transfer of the property the deed of transfer must be executed by the trustee.
