What is the role of the California Probate Court in supervising the administration of a trust and an estate?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Winter v. Winter, D070847, D072017 (Cal. App. 2018):

A probate court has broad equitable powers to supervise the administration of a trust and an estate. The court has the responsibility "to protect the estate and ensure its assets are properly protected for the beneficiaries." (Estate of Ferber (1998) 66 Cal.App.4th 244, 253.) The court has the inherent equitable power to "take remedial action" and to " 'intervene to prevent or rectify abuses of a trustee's powers.' " (Schwartz v. Labow (2008) 164 Cal.App.4th 417, 427.)
