No. A living trust is operative from the moment it is fully executed by the settlor (the person making the living trust). Wills have to be probated, because the maker of the will has died and is not able to identify the document claimed to be his will. The document must be proved (probated) as the proper last will and testament of the decedent before it becomes operative.
