You should be very careful about transferring property that is subject to a mortgage. Mortgage contracts contain a provision whereby the lender can demand payment in full upon any transfer in interest. Transferring your property to a trust would trigger that clause and the bank could demand that you pay off your mortgage immediately. You should consult with your attorney before making such a transfer.

Generally banks do not approve mortgages for property owned by an individual trust. Also, when you transfer a property that has an outstanding mortgage the property remains subject to the mortgage.

Is it possible to get a mortgage in the name of a irrevocable trust?

It depends on the lender. Generally, as long as the trust is valid and the borrower provides a copy of the trust, and an affidavit by the trustee that the trust is in effect and they are the current trustee, the mortgage can be executed. A properly drafted mortgage from a trust would be executed in the name of the trustee as trustee of the trust.It depends on the lender.

Can I transfer my house to a trust if I'm still paying it off?

You can convey your property to a trust but the property will still be subject to the mortgage. You must check with your bank before making that change in title. Most banks require an immediate payment of the mortgage when there is a change in ownership. The bank may require that you refinance in the name of the trust.

What will happen to mortgaged property placed in trust?

The property will transfer subject to the mortgage. If the mortgage isn't paid the bank will take possession of the property by foreclosure. However, please note that most mortgage documents contain a 'balance due on transfer clause". That means if the title to the property is transferred the bank can demand full payment of the mortgage. You should consult with your bank before making this transfer.

If you still have questions you need to consult with an attorney who can review the trust and explain your options.

A deed of trust as part of a mortgage transaction transfers title to the mortgaged property to a trustee until the mortgage is paid in full. When the mortgage has been paid off the trustee must transfer the property back to the owner.

Can a property go to a trust with a mortgage on it?

Yes, it technically can. However, some mortgages have "due on transfer or sale" clauses that would allow the bank to immediately claim all money loaned due upon the transfer to the trust. Your best bet would be to simply go to the bank that holds the mortgage and tell them what you want to do, and see if they are ok with it.
