The Will always needs to be filed with the county Probate Court. If there is a Trust, then a Notice of Trust needs to be filed too along with the filing fee.

And of course, the death certificate would be nice.

If the trust was fully funded, there is no need for probate of the will, since there would be no assets to distribute.
