Your best answer here is going to come from the title company when it comes time for them to insure the title.

If you’re looking to BUY the property, just tell the S that must have title insurance on it; if you’re wanting to SELL, then start now at the title co. so you’ll have time to work through what they want.

Sounds like just a correction deed from the Trustee might be enough.

They’ll tell you what they’ve got to have.

In signing a real estate document held in trust, must the signature of the trustee be followed by the word “Trustee”, or is the signature of the trustee valid without such a designation. The intent regarding a recorded easement was clear, but the signature was “sloppy”; but is such “sloppieness” still enforceable?
