Can a settlor transfer property to trustee for the settlor and trustee?

Your question is assumed to be the following: May Sheila transfer her property to Judith as the trustee for the benefit of Sheila and Judith. Generally, the answer is yes but trust law is extremely complex and varies from state to state. If you transfer real property to your trust that is situated in another state than where you live, the trust must meet the requirements of THAT state. Trusts should always be drafted by an attorney who is an expert in trust law.
