<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I think this can probably be dealt with by contacting your title company that you intend to use for the sale, and asking what they want in order to insure title from the current Trustee.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Imagine several of you have dealt with this situation before.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">PC is the second Successor Trustee of a Trust (first Successor Trustee is alive, but no longer wanted to serve). The trust’s main asset is a home. The original Trustee (who is now deceased) received the property
as Trustee per QC deed in the 90s. The QC deed stated: “convey and quitclaim to [deceased Trustee], Trustee”. Nothing is said about a successor trustee in the QC deed. The deed has not been changed or updated since the 90s.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The PC and Beneficiaries now wish to sell the property and wind up the Trust. The PC/current Trustee must execute a deed to remove it from the trust, but their name is not on the QC Deed. What is the most
effective way of dealing with this to make sure the current Trustee can sell the property?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">A correction deed only seems appropriate for minor clerical errors. Is the best route to file a current declaration of trust or affidavit of change of trustee in the county where the deed is recorded? An Affidavit
of Death of Trustee and Consent of Successor Trustee? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Any help and especially examples you previously used would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I am not missing something and dealing with this the most efficient way possible for PC.
