Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

If all of the assets were in a trust or otherwise held as you state, you should not need to do anything in Court.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The above response is not intended to, and does not, create an attorney-client, fiduciary or other confidential relationship with the responder. Neither does it constitute the providing of legal advice or services or the giving of a legal opinion by the responder. Such a relationship can only be created, and legal advice and/or legal services provided, pursuant to a written agreement with the responder. Accordingly, no obligations of any kind are assumed with respect to any matter or question presented. It should also be noted that legal issues are often time sensitive and legal rights may be lost or compromised if you do not act in a timely fashion.

I concur; however, there may be other issues that should be handled by an attorney and an accountant. These would include notice to creditors, determining if any liens exist (Medi-Cal) and final tax returns. If you are the successor trustee and sole beneficiary, these tasks should be simple and straightforward, but I recommend you meet with a lawyer to discuss issues related to terminating the trust(s).
