Current Nevada Law: Subject to Verification
Trust ownership and trustee authority are determined by the trust document and applicable Nevada law. Only a properly authorized trustee, or someone acting with the appropriate authority, can sign for a trust, and the transaction must be handled through the title and closing professionals. This article is educational information, not legal advice. Always have a qualified Nevada attorney and title professional verify the trust, the current trustee, and the authority required for your specific transaction.
First Step
Tell Lisa:
"The property is in a trust."
before listing.
Documents
Escrow and title may request appropriate trust-related documentation.
Depending on the circumstances:
- Certification
- Trustee information
- Death certificate
- Successor documentation
may be relevant.
Avoid Oversharing
A trust contains private information.
Use secure, verified procedures when providing documents, rather than sending full trust documents to every party.
Multiple Trustees
If the trust requires joint action, several signatures may be necessary.
Mortgage
Trust ownership does not erase mortgage obligations.
