Selling an inherited house has NOTHING to do with IRA rollovers.

Who created this trust?  Was an attorney (or at least LegalZoom) involved?  When (if?) was title to the property transferred to the trust?  Why wasn't the Title Co informed a trust was the owner, so the F 1099-S could be issued in the Trust EIN.

Just obtaining an FEIN does not a trust create.

I agree with @JRC , more questions than answers here.
