What makes a trust valid in California?

California law states that a trust is created only if: The settlor properly manifests an intention to create a trust; There is trust property; and. There is a beneficiary (unless it is a charitable trust).

More Californians than ever are using trusts in their estate plans. A trust is a legal entity created by the trustor. The trustor transfers his or her assets and property into the trust and appoints trustees to manage the trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries.

To make your trust valid in California, you simply need to sign the trust document — that's it! You don't need to have your document witnessed or notarized to make it valid. However, many people choose to sign their document in the presence of a notary public to help authenticate the document.

Generally, trusts have higher preparation costs than other estate planning tools. They require the individual to retitle their assets in the name of the trust. This can take both time and money. If a person fails to retitle their assets, they will not pass through the trust and they will instead go through probate.

Holographic wills, also called handwritten wills, are accepted in California. To be valid, a holographic will must: Be written entirely in your handwriting and signed by you. Be written while you were of sound mind, and not under pressure from someone else.

Important: The California Attorney General does not give legal advice to individuals. If you are trying to decide how to provide for the distribution of your assets or care of your children after you die and you need legal assistance, you should hire your own lawyer.

If you do it yourself by buying a book or an online guide, it will likely cost less than $100. However, there are pitfalls to DIY estate planning. The downside of working with a professional, however, is the cost. If you choose to use an attorney to help you draft your trust documents, it could cost more than $1,000.

To help you get started on understanding the options available, here's an overview the three primary classes of trusts. Revocable Trusts. Irrevocable Trusts. Testamentary Trusts.
