If your home is titled in the name of a trust, what happens when you want to sell it? Whether you’re looking to downsize, upsize, or move for any reason, selling a home that’s held in a trust can be straightforward, depending on the type of trust you have.

In this video, we explore how revocable living trusts—the most common type of trust we set up—allow for easy management of your assets, including selling real estate. A revocable trust gives you the flexibility to add or remove property as needed, and it helps you avoid the costly probate process. We’ll explain the steps you need to take to sell a home directly from your trust, including the importance of working with a knowledgeable realtor, consulting with your estate planning lawyer, and having your trust documents ready.

If you’re wondering whether selling a home from a trust is right for you, or if you’re considering setting up a trust to manage your real estate, this video provides the insights you need.
