Hey BP valued members

I am planning to go to few county foreclosure auctions in Texas to buy few homes in the near future, I have a trust already in place written up by an attorney, will I be able to title/deed these houses that I will potentially own in the trust's name, without having to involve spouse, i.e. without having their name on title/docs, involving them in process, etc.? Obviously will be paying cash for these homes.

For the reference I am married living in Texas, l created a trust while ago, I solely control the trust, there are currently no homes deeded to this trust, am asking because I realize when people buy homes through lender/normal process, both spouses need to be on the title/deed (unless one spouse signs quit claim, etc.). My goal is to have everything in trust name, with me only controlling all related transactions.


 IF your spouse is on the trust then they will also need to sign. 

Not an Attorney but have been through this where we put property into a Living trust and both parties were required to sign since both were trustees

Thank you for chiming in, spouse is not on the trust.
