What is a Pour Over Will

Your Pour-Over Will Doesn't Save You From Probate—It Guarantees It

Most people think a pour-over will protects them if they forget to add an asset to their trust. Technically, it does—but here's the catch: it uses probate court to move that forgotten asset into your trust after you're gone. That means delays, legal fees, and public exposure of exactly what you were trying to avoid.

A pour-over will is a safety net, not a solution. Your trust only works when it's fully funded—and 80% of trusts never are, which means families end up in probate court anyway, wondering why they bothered setting up a trust in the first place.

In this video, you'll discover what a pour-over will actually does (and doesn't do), why forgotten assets still trigger probate, and how to conduct annual trust checkups to ensure everything—bank accounts, real estate, business interests, and beneficiary designations—stays aligned with your plan.

Watch now to learn how to keep your trust fully funded so your pour-over will never has to activate—and your family never sees the inside of a courtroom.
