<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>
