What is a will? A will is a legal document in which you set out the rights and responsibilities of others for your property and minor children and/or disabled dependents in the event of your death.
A "Pour-Over" Will is a type of will drafted in conjunction with the creatin of a trust. This type of will is used to transfer, or pour, property into a trust after death. This is helpful to transfer property that should have been placed into a trust, but was inadvertently left out of the trust.
