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.
When the holder of a trust dies, the assets in the trust are typically distributed according to the instructions outlined in the trust document. This may involve transferring the assets to beneficiaries or managing them in a specific way as specified by the trust.
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 a trustee dies, the management of the trust property typically passes to a successor trustee, as specified in the trust document. If no successor is named, the trust may need to go through a probate process to appoint a new trustee. The property remains in the trust and continues to be managed according to the terms set forth in the trust agreement. Beneficiaries retain their rights to the trust assets as outlined in the trust document.
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 a trustee dies, a successor trustee usually takes over the administration of the trust. If no successor trustee is named or available, the trust documents typically outline a process for appointing a new trustee. It is important to review the trust documents and consult with an attorney to ensure the proper steps are taken.
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
