Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

My Mother passed in this last year and had a Living Trust that my Father set up. She had a mid 4 figure savings account and a small Investment account of a low 5 figures. Her home was involved in a Reverse Mortgage which was drawn out to more than current market value. The Estate/Trust had about 25 to 30 K in invested money and an automobile worth about $10K. Would the automobile be considered part of the Estate/Trust to be sold and divided among the surviving members of the Trust, or would it be considered personal property not connected to the Estate/Trust?
