Your Information

Enter your information to identify yourself as the testator (person making the will).

FREE & PRIVATE: This form is free—no account or credit card required. Your form entries and generated document never leave your browser—SimplyTrust does not transmit or store them. You are responsible for saving your completed document.

SELF-HELP SERVICE: SimplyTrust provides a self-help document preparation service. We are not a law firm and cannot provide legal advice, select forms for you, or tell you how to complete forms. Our role is limited to providing a platform where you input your own information into document templates.

NOT LEGAL ADVICE: This document was created entirely based on your selections. SimplyTrust does not review, analyze, or verify your entries, nor do we verify your identity, capacity, or authority to act. You are solely responsible for determining whether this document meets your needs and for completing all required execution formalities (signatures, witnesses, notarization, or recording) in accordance with your state's laws. For any legal questions, consult a licensed attorney in your state.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kansas Pour-Over Wills

Kansas requires 2 witnesses for will execution. Witnesses must be adults (typically 18+) who are present when the testator signs.

Kansas does not require a notary for will validity. However, a notarized self-proving affidavit can simplify probate proceedings. State requirements vary—consult your state statutes or a licensed attorney.

Kansas law requires the testator to be at least 18 years old.

Assets transferred through a pour-over will typically go through Kansas probate before being transferred to the trust. Assets already titled in the trust at death generally bypass probate. Kansas law governs specific probate requirements and thresholds.

You can create a new will at any time. A new will typically revokes prior versions if it contains revocation language (our template includes this). Any modifications must comply with Kansas execution requirements.

This form includes fields for alternate beneficiaries. If the trust doesn't exist, has been revoked, or is determined invalid, the document directs assets to the named alternates instead of Kansas intestacy distribution.

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 Kansas 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.

In Kansas, your pour-over will needs 2 witnesses to be valid. Our form includes a self-proving affidavit to help speed up the probate process for any assets that do pour over.

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.
