[WSBARP] simple question re EIN need

[Marcus Fry]

If it is a truly a revocable trust then it is a grantor trust and you do not need to get an EIN.

I am telling my client who is transferring her estate into a revocable living trust that she needs an EIN.  She says her two sisters, who are also doing the same, are just using their SSNs and not getting EINs.

Thoughts on this?  I am glad to be wrong.
