Am I the sole owner of the house after their death?

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
This depends on the terms of the trust and the language of the deed. You should get an attorney to review both real property is worth too much to make mistakes. Incidentally, if you sell into a bad market, you then have cash you can use to buy in the same bad market.

House is still in my deceased father's living trust, want to sell property what are the steps and financial aspects?

Answered by attorney Ronald William Lyster (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Lyster, Inc.
If you are the successor trustee of your father's living trust, you can sell the property and distribute the proceeds to whomever the trust specifies.  (I assume here that your father did not have some specific instructions in his trust concerning this particular property.)  If you are not the trustee, and someone else is named in the trust as successor trustee, that person can sell the property.  If there is no named successor trustee, you (or someone else) need to file a petition with the probate court for the appointment of a successor trustee. I assume the trust was wholly revocable by your dad before he died; if that is the case, the property received a new income tax basis at the time of his death; that basis is the property's fair market value at the date of his death.  So if he didn't die too long ago, you could be facing little or no capital gains tax.

How can I sign my deed to my home over to my daughter without hiring an attorney?

You can do it with a quit claim deed but that has many ramifications, and you should see an attorney regarding them.
