Who is familiar with California law concerning a surviving spouse's interest in the couple's house purchased during the marriage, and if/how the deceased spouse can (before death) place the house's title in a living trust so that no interest in the house will go to the surviving spouse?

And who knows a good and not crazily expensive attorney in the SF Bay Area? This is sort of a combination of trust law and community property law.

As I am not dead, you may surmise the question does not concern me directly.
