My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: CA
I'd really appreciate any advice as I'm having difficulty getting answers from our attorney.
I'm the successor trustee of my mother's trust. She owned a house with a mortgage. My two sisters and I are the beneficiaries.
According to our attorney, the "Final Estate Distribution" was approved by the court in April 2008 (I have not seen this paperwork, nor any other court documents yet).
I've heard conflicting things about what to do now. Do I simply record a new Grant Deed showing the transfer from myself as successor trustee to the beneficiaries?
As for the mortgage: When my mother passed away I called the bank and they said I should change the name on the loan to "The estate of (my mother's name) and (my name) as Successor Trustee." Which I did. I called back recently and asked about putting the loan into the names of my sister's and I but they said it wasn't necessary. Does that make any sense?
Thanks for any help on this.
