A simple paperwork mistake—forgetting to record a trust transfer deed—can create major headaches for families after a loved one passes. Without it, a home may not be included in the trust, forcing heirs into a long and expensive probate process. Fortunately, a Heggstad Petition can help fix this issue by allowing the court to recognize the property as part of the trust, even if the deed was never recorded. Learn how to avoid this common estate planning mistake and ensure your family’s inheritance is protected.
