What happens if the beneficiary of a california living trust dies before the estate is settled?

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.


If you set up a trust fund to look after an aging parent what happens to the balance of the trust fund once the parent dies?

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.


When one spouse in a family trust dies does that trust have to be terminated and a new trust created?

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.

When the beneficiary dies does the trustee then own the property in the trust?

What happens when someone dies with a house titled to a trust and with a mortgage?

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.
