What is a “pourover” Will?
A pourover Will is often done at the same time as a Revocable Trust (see question #1 above). A pourover Will gives all of a decedent’s assets which are not already in a Revocable Trust by the time of death, to the Trust. Probate is avoided on assets in the Trust by the time of death, but other assets which are only in the name of the decedent (and not beneficiary-designated to the Trust or another beneficiary, via a POD or TOD designation) go through probate and get to the Trust only after the probate process.
