How to Handle Out-of-State Properties and Assets During California Trust Administration
Administering a trust can become significantly more complex when the trust includes out-of-state assets. Whether the trust holds out-of-state real estate, financial accounts, or other property located outside California, trustees must understand how California law, the trust document, and the laws of the state where the property is located interact.
Common Mistakes Successor Trustees Make When Administering a Living Trust in California
Under California law, every trustee owes enforceable fiduciary duties to the trust and its beneficiaries. These duties apply the moment the successor trustee begins managing the trust, regardless of experience or intent.
Breach of Fiduciary Duties by a Trustee in California: Understanding Breach of Loyalty vs. Breach of Care
Under California Probate Code § 16000, once a trustee accepts the position, the trustee has a legal duty to administer the trust in accordance with the terms of the trust instrument and, unless the trust provides otherwise, in compliance with California trust law. This statute establishes the foundational obligation that governs all trustee conduct during trust administration.
