My mother did a grant deed giving me her 50% interest, but her 50% was in a trust and she has passed since. I was told that in order to make this Grant Deed good I have to, as the Trustee, take it out of the trust and put it back into her name. I went to someone to do this for me and this person did a Trust Transfer Grant Deed, but she marked the box that said "this conveyance transfers the Grantor's interest into his or her revocable trust, R & T 11911.
I don't feel that this is correct. I wanted to remove it from the trust and put it into the trust. I am I correct to believe that it is not correct?

What state or country are you in?

If her interest was in a trust, who was the trustee?

In order to correct the deed, you would have to be the trustee. Assuming your mother was the trusteee, does the document creating the trust say who should succeed her in the event of her death?

Why do you think you need to place the property into a trust? It seems that it would make more sense, if it is to go to you, to place the property in your name absolutely.

Who was this "person" you went to to prepare a deed? An attorney? What does "R & T 11911" mean? It seems that what needs to happen, assuming that for some reason you really need to place the property into the trust, is for the present trustee to execute a corrective deed reciting that the property is being placed in trust.
