Selling a Florida Property Held in Trust — Complete Guide

Who Signs the Deed

If the trust is revocable and the grantor is alive: the grantor signs (with trustee joinder if named). If the grantor has died: the successor trustee signs alone, provided the trust names them.

Documents the Title Company Will Need

Certification of Trust or full trust document, trust amendments if any, grantor death certificate if applicable, appointment of successor trustee if grantor deceased.

Speed vs Probate

Trust sales close in 14-30 days versus 8-12 months for formal Florida probate. This is one of the main reasons for setting up a revocable trust in the first place.

Common Complications

Trust document unclear on successor trustee authority. Multiple co-trustees who disagree. Beneficiary consent required by trust terms. Homestead property held in trust (still requires spousal joinder if applicable).
