[WSBARP] Another Deed quandray

[Kira Rubel]

To my deed/title experts: help.

I have a Client who owns a home in Pierce County in her and her deceased
husband's (Husband #1) living trust. She is now (after an appropriate
amount of time) remarried to Husband #2. Husband #2 is terminally ill.
After obtaining CPA approval, she would like to take her home and make it
Community Property with Husband #2 to get a step up in tax basis when he
passes away.  She intends to keep it in her existing living trust and add
him as co-Trustee as well.

My question is - how many deeds to accomplish this?

Presently the house is held as: Client and Husband #1, Co-Trustees of the
Smith Family Trust.

Thoughts?
