Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Is there times where having multiple trusts is appropriate? For example having a life insurance trust and another estate trust. Also, is there times where each spouse should have their own trust?

Yes, absolutely. There are multiple types of trusts, each with a specific purpose. A more complicated situation or estate often requires multiple trusts. As an estate planning lawyer I often devise estate plans of that type.
