You are correct that you might still have to go through probate due to a title insurance company wanting it.

Good discussion. 2 points to ponder:
1. The property transfer should not get complicated with title insurance as long as the title is aligned and changed to the trust.
2. Selling should not be a problem as long as the trust (whether it be a revocable living trust or a lady bird trust) is "revocable." By definition, the RLT is revocable. Don't know about the LBT.
