Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Most likely the answer is that yes, when you are eligible to draw down from the trust as a beneficiary, the creditor can attach whatever interest you have in the trust. The only type of trust that might be protected from a creditor is a spendthrift trust which contains certain language regarding protection from creditors AND the debtor (the person who owes money) is not acting as Trustee and beneficiary.
