What to do if my father passed away recently and he had a revocable living trust of which I am the successor trustee?
Question Details: I am the only beneficiary and I'm the executor of his estate. His house is in the trust which passes to me as I'm the successor trustee. Do I need to have the house put in my name on the deed or have a trust drawn up in my name or is everything fine as everything passes to me according to the trust?
