I've tried this process 2 weeks ago with my trustee present and the realtor company understanding the process to an extent. It came down to the mortgage company wanting to see proof of funds from the trust. ( of course that can't be produced). Houses are selling fast so they dont want to hold a house for long. Also they wanted "earnest money" put down to take it off the market. ( bad idea because if you put a certain amount down and the time frame for the treasury to  release the funds are greater,  you can loose the money you put down. Its a true gamble. Definely since other Trustees doing this process even with  the form 8888 aren't seeing results until about 4 months. 

I'm letting my Trustee proces the paperwork still and by the fall hopefully sooner, Ill be buying a house on the spot. (No need for earnest money, because my Trustee will have the cashier's check in hand) It will be a different address but my Trustee will file a 1099-A correction with the correct house address. 

You would need a trustee to process the transaction.
