Frequently Asked Questions

A pour-over will directs all assets to transfer into an existing trust upon death. It catches any property you forgot to transfer or acquired after creating your trust.

Assets transferred through a pour-over will typically go through probate before reaching the trust. Assets already in the trust at death generally avoid probate. Use our Do I Need Probate? tool to check whether specific assets require probate in your state.

The form includes fields for alternate beneficiaries. If your trust doesn't exist, has been revoked, or is determined invalid, assets go to your named alternates instead of state intestacy distribution.

A pour-over will transfers all assets to an existing trust. A standard will specifies detailed distribution instructions directly without requiring a separate trust document.

Yes. Return and generate a new document anytime. A new will revokes prior versions if it contains revocation language — our form includes this.

Why You Need a Pour-Over Will

Even the most carefully planned trust can miss assets. A pour-over will acts as your safety net, catching any property you forgot to transfer or acquired after creating your trust and directing it where it belongs.

Without this backup, forgotten assets pass through state intestacy laws instead of following your trust's distribution plan. A pour-over will ensures everything ends up in the right hands, even if you didn't get around to updating your trust.

This document also lets you name guardians for minor children, something a trust alone cannot do. It takes just 5-10 minutes and gives your trust the backup it needs.
