Trustee Notification After the Death of a Settlor in California
When the settlor of a California revocable living trust dies, the successor trustee has 60 days to serve a written "notification by the trustee" on every trust beneficiary and every heir of the settlor. The duty comes from Probate Code section 16061.7. It cannot be waived by the trust instrument, and a trustee who skips it is personally exposed to damages.
