A home was left to me (only child, only beneficiary of the will) by my mother. She had a living will with a codicil dealing with incapacitation. She had a stroke, and I was the named trust beneficiary. I then legally took over her affairs, and cared for her in her own home until she passed away just shy of five years later. The county still lists the home in the name of the Living Trust, but with me as the "aff" (county abbreviation), with the complete Acceptance By Successor Trustee online. I tried to speak to someone at the County, but that was practically useless.
My question is this: as I am contemplating selling the home, will I first be legally required to deed over the home from the Me as Successor Trustee to me the Individual, or will it make any difference when I choose to sell the home? The home carries no debt. Thanks!
