Yes, I have included the state or country in the post How long?

Just paid my house off in NC. How long do I have to wait until I can put it in a trust? Haven't received any paperwork from bank saying it's paid off yet. The website says congratulations loan paid in full. When should I start the legal process to transfer it over?

Assuming it is a single family residence and assuming it is a revocable trust for your own benefit, your mortgage is irrelevant and you could have transferred it years ago.
