Nothing in that other thread forecloses the possibility that the other party to the lease is a trust. And, as I mentioned in that other thread, the mere existence of a lease doesn't necessarily make the lease enforceable.
I didn't say that the other party to the lease was a trust. The OP said that the home was deeded in the name of a living trust. The OP wants to continue to live there, so whether or not the lease is enforceable is kind of a moot point.

Thank you for the responses. I did speak w a local title co. today and the agent recommended writing my check to the owner of record (the living trust of deceased former owner) that they claim to be trustees of. I think I’m going to do that. I can’t see any reason why if they are the trustees this should be a big issue.
I don't think that you should do that without speaking to a local real estate attorney first. A title company agent isn't remotely qualified to give that kind of advice.
