Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

A living will is a document where one states end of life decisions and has nothing to do with distribution of assets. A copy of a living trust must be given to all heirs and beneficiaries once it becomes irrevocable which typically happens upon the death of the settlor/trustor/grantor/trustmaker. If the settlor/trustor/grantor/trustmaker is still living, then it is up to that person who sees a copy of the trust. If the trust does become irrevocable and the trustee does not give notice to all the heirs and beneficiaries, then the trustee is liable for all attorney fees and costs associated with an heir or beneficiary obtaining a copy.
