How do Trust and Will laws work in Orange County lawsuits?
Will, Trust, joint tenancy, deeds, life insurance, pay-on-death accounts, probate; it’s all so confusing? When your family legacy is hijacked, it can be hard to know where to start.
Our California Trust and Will laws are like playing different board games. For example, the game of Monopoly has nothing to do with the game of Battleship; they are different games with different rules that operate independent of one another.
The same is true of Orange County Trusts and Wills. Trusts operate under a separate set of rules than Wills. The same is true for joint tenancy assets, life insurance proceeds, beneficiary designations for retirement accounts, and pay-on-death accounts—they all have their one unique set of rules. That means suing to set aside a Will has no affect on Trust assets. Suing to set aside a Trust has no affect on Will assets. Each asset may have to be challenged with a different lawsuit depending on how that asset is held, how it transfers, to whom it transfers, and so on.
