Selling a Trust Home in Santa Monica

If you are the successor trustee of a living trust that owns a home in Santa Monica, Miamar Realty can help you sell it smoothly. Broker Jay Romero (DRE 01343079) works with trustees, beneficiaries and attorneys across Los Angeles County. The I-10 ends here, and the Metro E Line runs to downtown Los Angeles.

How a Successor Trustee Sale Works

A successor trustee steps in under the terms of the trust and can usually sell trust property without court approval. Title and escrow typically want a certification of trust and proof of death. California also requires the trustee to notify beneficiaries and heirs, and your attorney can explain those steps and timing.

Santa Monica Trust Sale FAQs

Can the trustee sell the home as-is?
Yes, many trust homes sell as-is. We compare as-is pricing with light preparation so the trustee can decide.

What if co-trustees disagree?
We give every trustee the same pricing and market information. Disagreements about trust duties are a question for your attorney.

What paperwork does escrow usually ask for?
Title and escrow often ask for a certification of trust, a death certificate and the trustee’s ID. The title company will confirm its exact list.
