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?
