The document provides instructions for creating a 'Pour Over Will' for individuals establishing or having established a Living Trust in California. It emphasizes the importance of having a will alongside a living trust to ensure that any assets not transferred to the trust at the time of death are still managed according to the grantor's wishes. The document includes sections on appointing personal representatives, handling debts and expenses, and provisions for minor children, while also offering an affidavit for self-proving the will. A disclaimer notes that the forms are provided without legal warranty and advises consulting an attorney for serious legal issues.

Click ‘Get Form’ to open the CA Legal Will in the editor.
Begin by entering your full name and county of residence at the top of the document. This personalizes your will and establishes jurisdiction.
In Article One, specify the name of your Living Trust and the date it was created. This section ensures that any assets not transferred to the trust are directed there upon your death.
Proceed to Article Two, where you will outline how debts and expenses should be handled. Clearly state that these will be paid by your Personal Representative.
If applicable, complete Article Three by naming a guardian for any minor children. If you have no children or they are all adults, indicate this accordingly.
In Article Four, appoint a Personal Representative who will execute your wishes as outlined in the will. You may also designate a successor if needed.
Continue through Articles Five to Seven, ensuring all powers and provisions are clearly defined according to your preferences.
Finally, sign the document in front of witnesses as required in California law, ensuring their signatures are also included on the affidavit page.
