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.
Once the parent dies, the balance of the trust fund depends on the terms and conditions outlined in the trust document. It can be distributed to the named beneficiaries, such as other family members or charitable organizations, or it may be specified to be used for specific purposes, such as covering funeral expenses or paying off outstanding debts. The distribution would be carried out according to the instructions provided in the trust.
That depends entirely upon the terms of the trust itself. Most such trusts, if they are properly written, have provisions for what happens when a trustee or beneficiary dies. If this trust is for the benefit of several family members equally, then the trust most likely simply continues on for the benefit of the other beneficiaries. If the trust is for the spouse for his/her lifetime only, then it would most likely terminate with the money left over going to other named beneficiaries. Ther are too many other possiblities to go into all of them here. Suffice it to say that the answer lies in the trust itself. You need to read the terms and provisions in the trust document to determine what happens when one spouse dies.
It depends on the terms of the trust. You'll have to read the trust and find out. Sometimes, the benefits pass to the decedent's children. Sometimes, the benefits lapse. Sometimes, they pass to someone completely different.
No. The trust specifies what happens if the beneficiaries are no longer living. It could go to the beneficiaries' estates, or a remainder man, or to a charity. It is possible for the person who set up the trust to leave it to the trustee.
A revocable trust can be made a beneficiary, subject to restrictions and limitations, or the benefits will not be paid to anybody.
it remains a grantor trust
The decedent didn't own the property if it was transferred to a trust. The property is owned by the trust and is managed by the trustee. You need to review the terms of the trust to determine how the property will be handled or distributed. If you still have questions you need to consult with an attorney who can review the trust and explain your options.
