- Wills
- TrustsIf a person who dies had a properly drafted and funded trust, probate is generally not required. Unlike a will, a trust is a private document and isn't required to be filed with the probate court. California law does require the successor trustee to take certain steps to administer the trust: Beneficiaries must be contacted and kept informed; the trust-maker's assets gathered and invested; and debts paid; potential creditors notified; taxes filed and paid; assets and/or income distributed in conformity with trust provisions to beneficiaries. This process is called "Trust Administration" and ordinarily is completed sooner and with less expense than with the probate of a will.
