California Pour Over Will

What is California Pour Over Will?

A California pour over will is a legal document that allows a person to ensure that any assets not transferred to their living trust during their lifetime will be distributed according to the terms of the trust after their death. It acts as a safety net to catch any assets that were not included in the trust and transfer them to the designated beneficiaries.

What are the types of California Pour Over Will?

There are two main types of California pour over will: simple and complex. A simple pour over will is a basic document that directs all assets to be distributed to the living trust. A complex pour over will is more detailed and may include additional instructions or conditions for the distribution of assets. The type of pour over will that is appropriate for an individual will depend on their specific circumstances and estate planning goals.
