🔍 What is a Trust? Why Does It Matter in Real Estate?

In California, living trusts are a popular way to hold title — especially for those who want to avoid probate and maintain privacy.

Here's what you need to know 🧠:

✅ What is a Trust?
A trust is a legal agreement where the trustee holds and manages property for the benefit of someone else — the beneficiaries.

✅ Can a Trust Own Property?
No — only the trustee can. The trust itself doesn’t own anything. The trustee holds and conveys title on behalf of the trust.

🏡 Selling or Refinancing Property in a Trust?
The title company will require a Certification of Trust, which must include:

Names of trustor & trustee

Powers of the trustee

Who can revoke the trust (if anyone)

Signature authority

Legal property description

Confirmation the trust hasn’t been revoked or changed

📝 What if There’s More Than One Trustee?
Then all may need to sign, unless the trust specifically allows one to act alone.

⚖️ What if All Trustees Have Died or Won’t Act?
If the trustor can’t appoint a new trustee, the court can.

👤 Who Can Be a Trustee?
Anyone not legally restricted — or a corporation approved to handle trusts in CA.

📜 How Should a Deed Be Worded?
Example:
“John Doe and Mary Doe, as trustees of the Doe Family Trust, under declaration of trust dated January 1, 1992.”

🔒 Trustees Are Bound by the Trust Terms
They can only act within the powers granted in the trust document — and that’s what title companies will rely on.

🔍 什麼是信託？在房地產中有什麼作用？

在加州，許多人選擇透過「生前信託」來持有不動產，以避免遺產認證（Probate）程序並保護隱私。

以下是你該知道的關鍵重點 🧠：

✅ 信託是什麼？
信託是一種法律協議，由「受託人」代替「委託人」管理資產，並為「受益人」的利益服務。

✅ 信託可以擁有房產嗎？
❌ 不可以。 只有受託人才能代表信託持有和轉讓房地產權益。

🏡 若房產在信託名下，要出售或再融資，產權公司會要求什麼？
一份信託證明書（Certification of Trust），內容包括：

信託成立日期

委託人與受託人身分

受託人的權限

誰有權撤銷信託（如有）

受託人的簽署權限

如何持有產權

房產法律描述

聲明信託仍有效，未經撤銷或修改

🖋 若有多位受託人，一人簽署可以嗎？
只有當信託明文規定可由部分受託人簽署才行。

⚖️ 如果所有受託人都過世或無法履行職責？
若委託人無法或信託條款禁止委託人任命新受託人，則由法院任命。

👤 誰可以擔任受託人？
只要不是受法律限制的個人，或在加州註冊可執行信託業務的公司都可以。

📜 轉讓產權時，契約應如何書寫？
例如：
「John Doe與Mary Doe，作為Doe家族信託的受託人，依1992年1月1日的信託聲明成立」

🔒 受託人只能依照信託內容執行職責
不能越權，所有行動須在信託授權範圍內進行。

🕊️ Losing a loved one is never easy—and settling their affairs shouldn't add more stress.

If they owned property in California, here are 2️⃣ key steps to protect their legacy and avoid penalties:

✅ Notify the County Assessor
File a “Change in Ownership – Death of Real Property Owner” form within 150 days to avoid fines (up to $2,500).

🏠 Inheriting Property? Know Your Tax Benefits!
Thanks to Prop 19, children and grandchildren may keep the property’s Prop 13 tax base IF:

It was the decedent’s primary residence

You make it your own primary residence within 1 year

You file the proper exclusion within 3 years

📌 Visit your local County Assessor’s website for details and forms.

👉 Save this post or share it with someone who may need it.


🕊️ 摯愛離世令人心碎，而處理後事不應再增加壓力。

如果逝者在加州擁有不動產，請務必完成這兩個重要步驟，以保障家產、避免罰款：

✅ 通知縣地稅局（Assessor）
需於150天內提交「房產所有人過世變更申報表」，否則可能面臨高達 $2,500 美元的罰款。

🏠 繼承房產？你可能符合減稅資格！
根據 第19號提案（Prop 19），若符合條件，子女或孫子女可承接原有的第13號提案（Prop 13）稅基：

1️⃣ 房產必須是逝者的主要居所
2️⃣ 繼承人需於1年內將房產作為自己的主要居所
3️⃣ 必須在3年內提出排除申請，或在房產轉售前提出

📌 請造訪當地縣地稅局官網查詢更多資訊與申請表格。

👉 歡迎分享給可能需要的親友。
