Bundle
Fund Your Trust Bundle
Everything you need to actually move your home into your trust.
A General Warranty Deed transferring your Texas property into your trust + a formal Designation of Homestead — the two recordings most trusts need to be properly funded and protected. A trust on paper without these is just an unfunded promise.
Documents in this bundle

- Designation of HomesteadTex. Const. art. XVI § 50; Tex. Prop. Code §§ 41.001–41.005Lock in Texas homestead protection in writing.

Properties with active mortgages requiring lender consent, multiple parcels, out-of-state property, or contested title.
