That property should be made a part of the divorce negotiations. The attorneys should be made aware of the trust so a decision can be made between the parties or by the court as to the disposition of the property.

There is a disconnect here. A living trust is not related to an estate. The wording of the trust and perhaps the will associated with the individual will determine what the expectations are.
The financial situation of the trustee should be irrelevent to the estate. Unless they have been embezzling funds, there isn't any effect.
Any property owned by the decedent in his individual capacity would be included in his estate. Any property that was transferred to a trust during life would not be included in the estate.
No.
A revocable living trust is very similar to a living will. The owner of money or property can determine what happens to their estate after their death.
A person's will is intended to direct the distribution of their property after their death. Sometimes a person's assets change during life. If a person transferred property to a trust during his life that property would not become part of his estate unless some provision in the trust directed that the property should pass to the estate. Therefore a trust would "override a will" if the property mentioned in the will had already been transferred to a trust during the life of the testator.

You must always look to the language in the trust document. A well drafted trust will spell out instructions for every issue that affects the trust estate. A trust doesn't become "voided". The property that was transferred to the trust must be transferred out by the trustee in order to pass title to the property. This issue should have been resolved at the time of the divorce. You should seek the advice of the attorney who represented you at that time.
