Quit Claim Deed to transfer to Revocable Living Trust

[Administrator]

Hi, my mom had a trust and will prepared 2 years ago and the attorney did not take care of transferring her assets to her trust. This week we have visited all the banks and changed them to the name of the trust. Still need to do her car. Now she would like to put her house in the name of the trust to avoid Probate. I called the Register of Deeds and they said to do this with a quit claim deed. A local title company gave me an appropriate form. Looks pretty straight forward. But I called the attorney and he wants $250 to take care of the paperwork and put the house in escrow, blah blah blah, thinks the deed should be filed after her death. Times are tough. Is he just trying to earn a living? Mom only has $100,000 in assets including her house. Maybe she didn't even need a trust. Should I just do this and cancel the appointment.
