California Court of Appeal

In a case involving a dispute over the ownership of property formerly owned by decedent, the trial court's judgment is reversed where: 1) the language in the 2009 Trust is sufficient to convey the property at issue to the 2009 Trust and that decedent was not required to execute a separate deed in order to effectuate such conveyance; and 2) because at the time the 2009 Trust was created, the1985 Trust was a revocable inter vivos trust, and decedent was the sole trustee who owned no interest in the property as an individual, decedent's signature on the 2009 Trust was sufficient 'to convey good title' to the property from the 1985 Trust to the 2009 Trust.
