Probate is the legal process of administering your estate, by distributing your valuables based on a valid will or according to the laws of the state. A conservatorship may be needed when someone is incompetent to manage his or her own financial affairs and/or personal care, and has no viable alternative method of delegating these duties to another person.

A revocable living trust is an arrangement you make for management and distribution of your property. Like a will, the trust is "revocable, " meaning that you can modify or eliminate it at any time. These trusts are established by a written agreement or declaration which appoints a "trustee" to administer the property, and which gives detailed instructions about how the property is to be managed and eventually distributed.
A will is a legal document that declares your wishes about how the probate court should distribute your valuables. A will is also the estate planning device that creates a guardian for any minor children should something tragic happen in your family. Without a will, the laws of California will determine how your valuables will be distributed.
