I’m curious if there is a one step process to transfer beneficiary’s interest in real property from the estate to the trustee of their respective trusts (e.g. assignment)? I suspect it may be more trouble than its worth, and it’s probably more straightforward just to do two deeds, but given the additional recording fees I thought I’d reach out to the collective hive. In one matter, I actually probated the mother’s estate years ago and we transferred daughter’s interest to her RLT in a two step process that included a QCD with an “after acquired interest” clause. Now her brother has died and his interest in the same real property passes to her but a local [risk adverse] title company said the earlier QCD didn’t pass the additional interest to beneficiary’s RLT and we need to record another QCD to do so.
