Living Trusts Aren't Set-and-Forget: When Life and Law Changes, Your Plan Must Too​

Many Californians create a living trust to protect their families, avoid probate, and plan for incapacity, but a trust is not a one-time document. In this informative webinar, Estate Planning Attorney Victoria Rayman, of Copenbarger & Copenbarger LLP explains why living trusts should evolve alongside changes in California law, personal assets, and family circumstances. You’ll gain clarity on how legal updates and life events can impact how a trust functions, and why leaving a trust untouched over time can increase the risk of unintended outcomes. This session explores how to recognize when a trust may be out of alignment with current rules or expectations, how beneficiary designations and asset ownership affect outcomes, and the difference between minor updates and a more comprehensive trust review. Victoria offers practical insight into how thoughtful adjustments can support smoother administration and reduce confusion for loved ones, helping ensure your plan continues to reflect your wishes. Watch the full video to better understand how to keep your estate plan current and effective, and consider whether your own trust may benefit from a professional review. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to book an appointment?
