In a pour-over will, assets are poured from the will into a trust that was established for the distribution of the estate’s property and in accordance with the intentions and instructions of the testator
A pour-over will, sometimes called a pour-over trust is an estate planning tool for controlling and distributing certain types of assets before or after one’s death.
A pour-over will protects one’s estate from going through the long and expensive process of being probated or having one’s estate settled according to the state’s intestate property laws.
