Frequently Asked Questions
Can a trustee sell a house in California?
A trustee may generally sell trust-owned real estate when authorized under the trust and applicable law. The trustee should confirm authority and title requirements before listing the property.
Does a trust sale have to go through probate?
A properly funded trust-owned property can generally be sold through the trust administration process rather than the same probate-court process used for property that is part of a probate estate. Specific circumstances can vary.
Can a successor trustee sell the property?
A successor trustee may generally manage and sell trust property when properly appointed and authorized under the trust documents and applicable law.
Can a trust property be sold to a buyer with a mortgage?
Yes. Trust properties are not necessarily cash-only transactions. Buyer financing may be available if the lender, title company, escrow company and trustee can satisfy the transaction requirements.
