What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

When the deceased leaves both a Trust and a Will, with equal division of the estate, who pays for the decedent's expenses (funeral, last illness, and unpaid bills?

Who pays- Estate or Trust

Thank you Don,
I think I'm beginning to see the light.
Please tell me if this is a correct statement:
The estate is responsible for paying off the trust as well as the funeral, last illness, old bills, etc., and the trust isn't required to pay any of this.
