Answer

Affidavit of death of Grantor/Trustee, incorporated copy of death certificate, and an abstract of trust (or the whole trust instrument, if you feel the urge to pay for all those recorded pages), showing that you are a legitimate successor trustee, and then a deed granting title to the various beneficiaries.

 

Same thing in every jurisdiction. The objective is to prove the chain of title, so that there would be no misunderstanding as to ownership later. However, only the deed itself is legally required. It's just that without all the other documents, some future buyer may not be able to get a title insurance company to issue a policy without all sorts of additional documentation (or, an exclusion in the policy for the period where the title company couldn't follow the title chain).
