Revocable Trust Documents

Recently I opened a revocable trust and am now funding the trust. I own two properties and just filed the trust deeds from an individual to the trust. I used John Doe Rae, Trustee of the John Doe Rae Revocable Trust format. On all of my other documents in the Revocable Trust I used my middle initial, e.g., John D. Rae, Trustee of the John Doe Rae Revocable Trust. Does this pose a problem for my Heirs? Thank you.

I like to keep the names consistent to avoid confusion, but I don't think this will cause a problem as stated.

It would be better if you signed your name the same way in all of the documents, but these inconsistencies can probably be resolved relatively easily if it ever becomes necessary to do so.

The information you obtain at this site is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your own situation.
