Recording a document means that it is filed with the county recorder's office and becomes a public record. In California, living trusts are not required to be recorded, nor is it recommended.
Here is the rough outline: Select the trust that is best suited to your needs, such as a revocable living trust. Draft a trust deed and have it notarized so that it is legally binding. Record the deed at the county recorder's office. Notify the relevant parties, such as your mortgage lender and insurance provider.
In real estate law, "assignment" is simply the transfer of a deed of trust from one party to another.

Prepare a New Deed: Draft a grant deed transferring the property to “John Doe, as Trustee of The John Doe Living Trust, dated January 1, 2024.” Notarize the Deed: Sign the new deed before a notary public.

One disadvantage of placing your house in a trust is the loss of direct ownership. Transferring your property to a revocable living trust makes the trust the legal owner. While you retain control as the trustee, this change in ownership may affect your ability to mortgage or refinance the property.
