FAQ

Today clients who have living trusts normally keep the original copy. Having the attorney keep the original copy of the trust is not as important as keeping the original will used to be. At death, a copy of the trust generally suffices for all parties in place of the original.
Trusts created during your lifetime, known as living trusts, do not go into the public record after you die. With rare exceptions, trusts remain private regardless of whether you have an irrevocable or revocable trust at the time of your death.
If you can't find original living trust documents, you can contact the California Bar Association for assistance. Trusts aren't recorded anywhere, so you can't go to the County Recorder's office in the courthouse to ask to see a copy of the trust.
Trusts are private documents and they typically remain private even after someone dies. The only way to obtain a copy of the Trust is to demand a copy from the Trustee (or whoever has a copy of the documents, if not the Trustee).

If you can't find original living trust documents, you can contact the California Bar Association for assistance. Trusts aren't recorded anywhere, so you can't go to the County Recorder's office in the courthouse to ask to see a copy of the trust.
Legally your Trust now owns all of your assets, but you manage all of the assets as the Trustee. This is the essential step that allows you to avoid Probate Court because there is nothing for the courts to control when you die or become incapacitated.
Trusts aren't public record, so they're not usually recorded anywhere. Instead, the trust attorney determines who is entitled to receive a copy of the document, even if state law doesn't require it.
