Your beneficiaries must follow a specific set of requirements. They must notify any legal heirs; notarize and record a simple form called Affidavit of Death of Transferor under TOD Deed, along with a death certificate; and notify Medi-Cal if you received benefits.
Heirship is designated in the Probate Code of California. Designating a beneficiary ensures that the named person (i.e., the beneficiary) will receive the asset directly upon your death – of course, if they survive you. A beneficiary designation overrides any provisions in a Trust or a Will.
But a Living Trust does not shelter the settlor from creditors. A creditor of the settlor has the same right to go after the trust property as if the settlor still owned the assets in his or her own name. A trust is not a public record.

Filing a petition for removal of trustee in California is much easier to do with help from a lawyer than on your own. A lawyer can not only draft the trustee removal forms for you, but file them with the court as well.
How to Revoke a Trust Step one: Remove all the assets that have been transferred into the trust. Step two: Create a legal document that states the trust's creator, having the right to revoke the trust, wishes to revoke all terms and conditions of the trust and dissolve it completely.
Terminating an active trust requires court intervention or unanimous beneficiary consent. A party with legal standing must demonstrate compelling reasons for a judge to order dissolution, or alternatively, all beneficiaries must concur on ending the trust, ensuring adherence to the trust's purpose and legal procedures.
