A Pour-Over Will is a legal document that works alongside a Revocable Living Trust. It ensures that any assets not already placed in your trust during your lifetime are transferred ("poured over") into the trust after your death.
Key benefits:
- Completes your estate plan: Catches assets you didn’t transfer to your trust while alive.
- Ensures consistency: All assets follow the distribution plan in your trust.
- Simplicity: Keeps all estate administration under one unified plan.
- Protection: Ensures nothing is accidentally left out of your trust.
When to consider one:
If you have a Revocable Living Trust, a Pour-Over Will is essential to make sure all assets are covered.
