More details to this question:
I am the executor and beneficiary of a house that is in a trust. The trustee has passed away. I read this does not have to go through probate because there is a trust but what do I need to file, if anything? Is it as simple changing the name on the deed?

A substitute trustee (and the trust agreement should provide for one) can make a distribution out of the trust, recording a distribution deed. If the trust agreement does not provide for a substitute trustee or for a method by which one can be appointed, contact a local estate planning lawyer about how to ask a court to appoint one.
