What does it mean to transfer your house to a trust?

Well, if you’ve set up a revocable trust, you need to transfer certain of your property to the trust and especially your house. To transfer your house to the trust, you need to prepare or have prepared a grant deed, sometimes called a trust transfer deed. This is a document that changes ownership from you as an individual to you as trustee of your trust. This document gets recorded in the county recorder’s office where you live or where the property is located.
