Quitdeed Legal for Living Trust?

What is the name of your state? CA
This year my husband & I created a Revocable Living Trust & Pour-Over-Will. We used a Quitclaim Deed to transfer our home into the trust. Today, I was told by someone who is creating a Trust here in CA. that this is not legal. I have searched online and can find nothing that says this method is not correct. Any insight?

I don't agree with "someone." But I would be curious why he or she thinks that way.

That "someone" person is giving legal advice again! Sooner or later, they are going to get into trouble.

Like tecate, I always like to hear people's thoughts when they disagree with what I believe. Often it's because of something entirely different from what I think the issue is. So, what was the reason they gave beyond it being "not legal"?

So why not take it to a trust attorney to make sure that your trust and pour over will have been done legally correctly? If you don't do that and there are problems with it after you are gone, the heirs will be left to clean up the mess.

Quitclaim deed legal for CA?

...By "someone" I mean a coworker with no legal expertise but who is in the process of funding a Living Trust...

Hmm. So your coworker is doing what you did, but you did it illegally. This is really interesting now!
