There are lenders that will lend on a house that is in the name of a trust.  If you want to take title in your own name and you are also a beneficiary of the trust, then you can transfer the property into your own name for purposes of refinancing and then transfer it back into the trust.  You should have already recorded an affidavit of death of trustee.
