A pour-over will is a unique estate planning tool that works in conjunction with a trust. It allows any assets not already included in your trust or items inadvertently not funded into your trust to be 'poured over' into the trust upon your death. Our trust lawyer details the critical significance of funding your trust in the linked blog post. A pour-over will provide the backstop that helps ensure a comprehensive and seamless transfer of all your assets, providing ease and clarity for your beneficiaries.
