In many states a trust that names the trustor, trustee and beneficiary as the same person would fail as a trust. The trust would fail under federal tax laws. The property that was transferred to the trust actually remains the property of the trustee as an individual and is exposed to creditors and the laws of intestacy if the owner dies. In the scenerio set forth above the wife is not an owner but she would inherit an interest in the property if the owner died. For example. If Jack has land conveyed to himself as a trustee of a trust of which he is the trustor and the beneficiary there has been no trust created and Jack owns the property in his own name as an individual. If he died the property would pass to his heirs at law according to the state laws of intestacy. Trust law is extremely complicated and largely due to "free" information available on the internet there has been an abundance of flawed trusts used to hold title to real estate. Those mistakes can be very costly to correct. You need to have this situation reviewed by an attorney who specializes in trusts ASAP.

What is the difference between a Trustee and a Trustor of property?
to get a basic concept between the difference of these two, there are basically three basic individuals involved in a trust. The trustor, the Trustee, and the beneficiary. The easiest way to understand this is by illustration. Trustor-------------------->Trustee----------------------->Beneficiary gives $ or property manages $ or property receives $ or use of property As an example, Anne (trustor or donor) wants to give $100,000 to her daughter Marie (the beneficiary), but does not want her to have access all of the money at once. Therefore, she gives the money to Hillary (the trustee) and tells her to only pay her daughter Marie 10,000 per year, over the next ten years. Now there would of course be other variables within this example such as management fees the trustor would charge, as well as accrued interest since the money would be held in a trust fund, but I'm trying to give a simple answer to a simple question.
