Russell, 758 So. 2d 533, 538-39 (Ala. 1999)). “As a threshold matter, the probate exception only applies if the dispute concerns property within the custody of a state court,” and, “Assets placed in an inter vivos trust generally avoid probate, since such assets are owned by the trust, not the decedent, and therefore are not part of the decedent’s estate.” Curtis v. Brunsting, 704 F.3d 406, 409-10 (5th Cir. 2013)(footnote omitted). “In other words, because the assets in a living or inter vivos trust are not property of the estate at the time of the decedent’s death, having been transferred to the trust years before, the trust is not in the custody of the probate court and[,] as such[,] the probate exception is inapplicable to disputes concerning administration of the trust.” Id. at 510.
