FAQ
You are not legally required to handle the administration of a decedent's estate, even if you are named as the executor; you may choose to decline. However, if you are in possession of their original signed will, you are required to file it, along with the death certificate, with the court.
Original wills are not available to view; however, with a Certified Death Certificate or an Informational Certified Death Certificate you can obtain a copy of the will by going to the Probate Business Office and requesting a copy.
Code § 8200 requires that when a person dies, the person in possession of the Will, must deliver (aka deposit) the Will to the Court within 30 days.
Delays in filing for probate can freeze assets, prolong creditor claims, and lead to legal and financial issues for executors. Failing to file for probate, and executor can face: civil penalties, criminal charges, and financial liabilities.
If all your property is in trust when you die (or become incompetent), then legally you don't own anything in your name. This means, if you die, no probate (formal court administration of a decedent's estate) is needed to pass your property on to your beneficiaries.
The short answer is that a living trust is a private document and does not need to be recorded in California. The only time a trust is in a public record is when it contains real estate. In this case, the County Recorder's office lists the trust's name as the property's title holder.
Wills are only public record under certain circumstances. In California and most states, a will is filed with the court during probate, so it's public. But if probate hasn't been started, the will is private, usually held by the executor or the deceased's attorney.
