Transferring real property out of a living trustwhich you can do at any time with a revocable trustrequires taking almost the same steps as when you transferred the property into the trust. You can transfer the property from the trust to an individual or back to yourself.

If the trust is intact at the time of your passing, exactly when it will terminate will depend upon the circumstances. For example, if you instruct the trustee to liquidate the property and distribute all of it as soon as possible, the trust would terminate when all the assets were distributed to the beneficiaries.

Most clients use revocable trusts, so assuming it is a revocable trust, the trustor (person who set up the trust) has the right to remove the house from the trust. The trustee (probably the same person) can execute a deed conveying the property from the trust to the trustor. That takes the property out of the trust.

Further, a trust will be considered as terminated when all the assets have been distributed except for a reasonable amount which is set aside in good faith for the payment of unascertained or contingent liabilities and expenses (not including a claim by a beneficiary in the capacity of beneficiary).

Living trusts have some benefits compared to wills, such as helping avoid probate, potentially saving money and preserving privacy.
