Why Having a Trust Doesn’t Automatically Avoid Probate in California

Most people believe that once they’ve created a trust, they’ve completely avoided probate—but that’s not always the case.

In this video, California estate planning attorney William Ha explains why having a trust alone isn’t enough to keep your estate out of probate court. Using clear examples and visuals—including a suitcase analogy you won’t forget—William breaks down:

✅ Why proper trust funding matters
✅ The difference between wills and trusts when it comes to probate
✅ What happens to assets left in your personal name
✅ How probate is triggered (even with a trust!)
✅ Simple steps to make sure your estate plan works as intended

If you want to avoid the delays, costs, and publicity of probate, understanding this key distinction is essential.
