[WSBAPT] Trust has not distributed assets

[Mark Vohr]

Marvin:

            I’m a little confused as to the whether we are talking about transferring real property or the income interest.  Is the term “property” as used in your query meant to refer to the income interest or the actual real property itself.

Regards,

Mark

Subject: [WSBAPT] Trust has not distributed assets

Dear Listmates

My client is a grandchild of original trustors in another state, and I think the same basic legal principles apply.
Trustors put income producing property in trust with the directions to distribute property to their children in equal shares, and if a child dies before them, to pass to the children of the deceased child.
Trustors died over 20 years ago.  The successor trustees have kept managing the property and distributing the income.  One child has died.  And now deceased child's children receive equal shares of their deceased parent's share.
Grandchild, who is my client, wants to set up a revocable living trust.
My question is : (if this were Washington real property) how should we  transfer grandchild's interest to grandchild's trust?

Thank you

Marvin Benson
