To transfer a property into a trust, you will need a new deed with the name of the trust. Here's what you need to do.First, you'll need to prepare and sign a new deed for the property. You'll usually need a grant form or quit claim form to transfer the deed. You can search for, get copies of, or update property ownership records, such as deeds and mortgages. A deed is often referred to as a title. In counties outside of New York City, file a Real Property Transfer Report (Form RP5217) with the county clerk along with the quitclaim deed. Some states don't use mortgages in home sales. Instead, they use deeds of trust, in which a third party holds the title and can foreclose. Deed fraud happens when criminals record fraudulent deeds, mortgages or other liens against a property without the owner's knowledge or consent.
