start a trust and sell my house to it

• Read the 2 documents from my lawyer, and OK’d the trust deed.
• Filled out the extra small mortgage application for the bank
• Found someone to clean my apartment when I leave (as I want to rent it after it’s in the trust)
• Contacted the property manager about signing up.
• Made a small (late) addition to my property split agreement and that’s back with the lawyers for alteration – should be complete by COB today I hope.

All of those things need to be done before I can complete this goal (well, apart from the cleaner and property manager I guess).

I’ve been to the bank, and they were (in principal) happy with me assuming my entire mortgage, and transferring the property into a trust.

My lawyer should be delivering me a property settlement agreement today which I need to check, and then the mortgage will be all mine (hang on, that’s not a good thing!).

I should also be getting a copy of the trust deed today, which I need to read and accept, and then the trust gets set up.

It’s all on.

...my lawyer last week about this. He got back to me today, and the wheels are in motion.

I need to go to the bank tomorrow to talk to them about it all. I’d quite like to be able to keep the mortgage personally because I’ve got a good fixed interest rate, but I doubt the bank will go for it – especially given after I sell the house to the trust I’ll have virtually nothing to my name.
