Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Items included in trust estate
Parents created revocable living trust in 1996 transferring typical assets such as property (real estate, vehicles, etc); investments, life insurance policies into trust estate.
Father dies in 1999; and days afterwards, my sister and mother take out a $5K life insurance policy on my mother; naming my sister as beneficiary.
***should this policy be considered an asset of the trust, and subject to distribution?

Re: Items included in trust estate
this depends upon the language of the trust, the source of the funds and the type of life insurance.
