Wyoming Assignment to Living Trust
About this form

Trusts aren't recorded anywhere, so you can't go to the County Recorder's office in the courthouse to ask to see a copy of the trust. However, if real estate is involved, the trust may be recorded in the local office of the county clerk.
Trusts created during your lifetime, known as living trusts, do not go into the public record after you die. With rare exceptions, trusts remain private regardless of whether you have an irrevocable or revocable trust at the time of your death.
A revocable living trust isn't subject to the same kind of rules as a will; it should be valid in any state, no matter where you signed it.If you acquire real estate in your new state, you'll probably want to hold it in the trust, so that it doesn't have to go through probate at your death.
Open a bank account in the name of the trust. Close out any bank accounts the grantor established for the trust and put the proceeds into the new trust bank account. Cash in any life insurance policies that name the trust as beneficiary and put the proceeds into the trust bank account.
Choose whether to make an individual or shared trust. Decide what property to include in the trust. Choose a successor trustee. Decide who will be the trust's beneficiaries who will get the trust property. Create the trust document. Sign the document in front of a notary public.
Trusts Are Not Public Record. Most states require a last will and testament to be filed with the appropriate state court when the person dies. When this happens, the will becomes a public record for anyone to read. However, trusts aren't recorded.
Expect to pay $1,000 for a simple trust, up to several thousand dollars. You may incur additional costs after the trust has been established if you transfer property in and out or otherwise move things around. However, the bulk of the cost will be setting it up initially.
