Decedent's Will gives his interest in community property to a trust for the benefit his spouse, who survived him. The only asset subject to probate is the decedent's 50% interest in the house. All other assets were non-probate assets that passed to the surviving
spouse via beneficiary designation or by virtue of joint ownership with right of survivorship. Instead of transferring 50% of the house to the trust, can the surviving spouse fund the trust with the equivalent value in cash? The Will says nothing about non-pro
rata distributions. </div>
