Application of Probate Codes to Trusts

[karnold]

Often a simple revocable living trust is termed a 'substitute for a will', so do the probate codes apply when it becomes irrevocable upon death of grantor? If a question arises in the administration of the trust, does the court use probate code and similar statutes to adjudicate the claims? Thank you for your help.

Probate codes don't apply to trusts. Most states have separate trust laws that apply.
