Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

My Mother's will names me as sole beneficiary. I have three siblings that have purposely not been listed in the will. All of my Mother's assets have been placed in my name as well as hers including monetary in which I am beneficiary or listed as POD. Is a trust also needed to assure there won't be any probate or legal reprocussions from my siblings? My Mother and I both want to know if a will is enough. Thank You for your help.
