The grantor in the establishment of a revocable trust lived in a different state than today does this affect the validity of the trust?
That depends on where the property in the trust is located and the state laws under which the trust was drafted. For example, A trust drafted in California would also need to meet the requirements of Massachusetts trust law if it held real property located in Massachusetts. The trust would need to meet those requirements (of Massachusetts) in order for the deed out from the trust to be valid. Trusts that are acceptable in some states are not acceptable in others. There are many instances where trusts from other states have been used to hold title to Massachusetts property. If the trust doesn't meet Massachusetts trust requirements the trust fails, the trustee may hold the property as an individual or the property may remain in the estate of the "trustor". In cases where the trust fails and the "trustor" died, the estate must be probated. Trusts are not to be taken lightly. An improperly drafted trust can reate a costly legal quagmire.
