<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">I believe an appropriate
form to describe a testamentary trust grantee is "[trusteeName] of
the [trustName] Trust under will of [Decedent]</font>" and
identify somewhere in the deed the court and case number of the
proceeding in which the will was admitted to probate. The
identification of the PR-grantor normally would provide that
identification of the court and case number.<br>

I think the K.C. auditor/recorder staffer is misguided.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am transferring an interest in real
estate from an estate to a testamentary trust. I prepared a
PR deed and a REETA, from the PR to the Trustees of the xxx
Trust. It was rejected by the King Co Recorder, saying I
needed two separate transactions—first “from Grantor to
people, not with the trust”; second “from people to people +
trust”. I have never run into this before, and don’t
understand what it means. I would appreciate feedback.
Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
