Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: decendant's trust

I think you may be confusing two words, and I don't know which one you really mean. A decedent is a person who died. Sometimes lawyers will refer to a trust set up by someone who died as the decedent's trust.

A descendant, on the other hand, are the children and grandchildren of a person. Although you might call a trust for the beneficit of one's descendants a "descendant's trust," I have never heard that terminology used.

I hope this helps.
