Punky Do asked:
My mother has told me that if even one of her bank accounts, automobiles, etc. is not included in the framily trust, everything would be thrown into probate at the time of her death. Today she opened up a money market account. The bank told her not to be concerned about having my sister and I fill out a family trust form so she had them put my name on the account as co-owner. The bank told her that at her death, no death certificate would be needed; I would just close out the account and divide it with my sister. Should I be concerned that family trust forms were not part of the application process?

The bank is correct there is joint account is up to you have full control of the account with your.
You can include or not include whatever you wish. The majority of trusts are worthless because people forget to put anything in them.
