yes, and unfortunate it is.
Should someone pass, you better be able to come up with a copy of the 
right document!
Dad just passed, and had done a (living) trust about 10-15 years ago.
Dad's house and investments are owned by the trust.
Apparently Dad hadn't sent copies to any of us, including my sister who 
was backup trustee. (original trustee passed in '03).
The only copy we (eventually) found was in Mom's things, and she passed 
in '02.
Saved!
Sure would have been nice to have that a public record.
cheers
Jay
