Probate isn't a "minor" issue. Going to probate costs a percentage of the estate in CA--payable to BOTH the executor and the executor's attorney. Setting up a trust should cost much less than that and usually saves a lot of hassle and time.

Going into probate is over rated as an issue. Youre paying $ to avoid minor issue.

I sincerely hope you don’t practice T&E in CA because this is so so wrong

Not that minor…and there are other reasons for putting a condo into a trust…
