When someone passes away who has planned ahead by preparing and executing a properly funded a trust during their lifetime, their estate can be distributed to their beneficiaries through what is referred to as the trust administration process. This means that there is no need for a probate proceeding in a court and that the estate administration can be carried out without Court supervision.

Trust administrations can be complicated, with many Probate Code sections to follow. Hiring an attorney is highly recommended when dealing with a loved one’s trust estate. At Channel Islands Law Group, we have the experience to help guide our clients through this often challenging process.
